Broken foot keeps bruising then un-bruising. what can cause it to do this?

See below: If foot is still broken then motion from the bones could be an irritation and create bruising. If concerned see a podiatrist.

Slow healing: Slow or non- healing of the fracture did you have surgery on it? Have the fixation device evaluated. Either way an xray would be helpful.
