Is it possible to have a permanent bruise or not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes!: Yes, that's possible, in certain situations, like someone having a tendency to bleed, from low number of platelets ( which are little cells in the blood that help against bleeding) or due to some other factors which are lacking in the blood. Certain medications can alter the number of these cells and so cause bleeding &/or bruising.
