A bruise gets its deep color from a blood vessel or vessels that break under the skin and leak blood into the surrounding area. As it heals, it becomes paler in color and less painful to the touch. Depending on how many vessels were broken, bruises can be the size of a pencil eraser or 6 or more inches across. What is Arnica? It is a European plant for in the mountains that is a know remedy for healing bruises. If one applies this 3-4 times a day the bruise will heal much quicker.
