A member asked:
Can you get a red line/ mark on your foot that stays longer than the bruise if it is fractured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially : Bruising represents bleeding into an area of soft tissues and usually resorbs over a 10-14 day period. A fracture takes usually 6-8 weeks to heal and may be associated with an ongoing inflammatory process during that time.
