Bruising: Bruising can take a few weeks to resolve sometimes and may go from red to purple to yellow. If you are on any anti clotting medications such as aspirin or warfarin then you need to see your doctor to ensure there is no ongoing slow bleeding going on

Observation: Just try some warm compress over the area. The bruising will improve and resolve and the heat speeds the process up
