A member asked:

Is it normal for a greenish bruise to have a hard core like section in it? how would you know if a bruise with a hard area is a clot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Goldman answered

Bruise with clot: Your diagnosis is good. To help is to heat it to help it slowly dissolve over 2-4 weeks
