Bruising happens so frequently and is such a common mishap, you usually don’t have to see your dermatologist. You should, however, call your Manhattan dermatologist if you experience: swelling, no noticeable improvements after two weeks, tissue under the bruise becomes hardened, joints become stiff, bruising more often than usual, bruising when you have a blood clotting disorder, bruises appearing for no apparent reason. Make your appointment today. Come see the Midtown or Upper East Side Dermatology NYC clinic and meet a leading Manhattan dermatologist Dr. Susan Bard.
Bruises
Bruises are one of the most common skin conditions in the world. Most everyone experiences bruising during their lifetimes, and you may see bruises quite regularly, from young childhood into old age. Bruises are visible signs of trauma to your skin. They are caused by blood trapped underneath your skin. A bruise happens when small blood vessels become crushed, but the injury isn’t bad enough to break the skin. Instead, the tiny vessels pop open and spill inside your body, under the skin. Bruises also referred to as contusions or by the medical term ecchymosis can occur on your bones, muscles or skin. Your New York dermatologist treats those bruises that are most apparent on the skin.
