A member asked:
Had a light bruise. was told not to rub, but i rubbed abit.it has been 7 days and the bruise is still there.should i rub the bruise? or just leave it?

Leave it for now.: No need to rub a bruise. Generally they'll heal on either own. If there's no evidence of healing in two weeks time, let a doctor have a look at it.
