Bruise
Description
An injury involving rupture of small blood vessels, a bruise
causes discolouration without a break in the overlying Skin.
Bruises are associated with external and internal causes.
If the blood is pooled or trapped in tissue or an organ,
the term haematoma is used. A common example is a blood
blister. With Capillary Fragility, the bruising is called
an ecchymosis; the blood enters subcutaneous tissues, causing
discolouration of the overlying Skin.
