Bruising occurs when blood vessels break and leak blood into surrounding tissues, causing a black and blue appearance. The severity and duration of bruising can vary depending on the extent of the injury. In the case of facial bruising, it is important to monitor for any signs of swelling or infection. Facial bruising can take up to two weeks to fully heal but proper care such as icing helps.
