Bruising (ecchymosis) happens when small blood vessels (capillaries) under the skin break. This causes bleeding within skin tissues. You will also see discolorations from the bleeding. Most of us get bruises from bumping into something from time to time. Bruising sometimes increases with age.
Heal New Bruises Quickly. 1  1. Apply a cold compress, such as a cold washcloth, to the bruise for 1 to 2 days after the injury. Never apply ice directly to your skin; it could cause frostbite. 2  2. Avoid massaging the bruise or applying heat, which may cause it to worsen. 3  3. Elevate and rest the bruised area.  4. Take bromelain.
