A member asked:
If you grt hit really hard do you always bruise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruise: Typically in this situation a bruise will occur. For the first 24 hours, i would ice the effected area to minimize the spread of the bruise. After 48 hours, heat may be applied to allow the blood to disperse about the body. The amount of time it takes to heal is highly variable from person to person.
