At first, it will be purple, then turn gray or green, and finally turn brown. The color change is related to the healing of the bruises, which takes 7-10 days to heal.

The cold will help heal the bruise quickly, causing the blood vessels under the skin to harden. The correct way to apply a cold compress is to put ice in a plastic bag and wrap it in a cloth before applying it. Ice should not be applied directly to the skin, and must be applied for at least 20 minutes. Continue applying this compress for 48 hours after the bruise begins.

Apply hot compresses after 48 hours: To increase blood flow to the bruised area, the bruise will heal faster. The method is to soak a towel in warm water and apply it to the bruise for 10 minutes at a time, 2-3 times a day.
