Health Tip: When Bruising is a Red Flag

Bruises occur when blood vessels below the skin rupture, says Cleveland Clinic. Most bruising is caused by minor accidents, medications and age. Bruises caused by minor injuries usually disappear within a week or two.

Cleveland Clinic suggests getting a bruise checked by your doctor if it:

Shows no signs of improvement after a week.
Is located on a part of your body where injury or accident is unlikely.
Keeps occurring or comes back.
Involves unusually large, unprovoked bruising.
