Is it bad enough that a bruise I have is getting darker?

D; Oh boy, I’ll have to see, but I been leaning on it everyday basically I wasn’t sure if I made it worse by doing so, but I’ll look and see if I can see a doctor. Thanks!

Well i agree with the above comment the more the bruise gets dark the nearer it gets better and eventually it fades gradually.

Especially when there is a bump on it? I been leaning on it everyday giving it pressure I suppose(but I’m comfortable that way hehe…) Though having this odd bruise I suppose I’ll give i a few more weeks to see any difference ;)

If you have been leaning on it everyday and it is near your elbow yea it is going to take a while to heal I would imagine that elbows heal like knees, extremely slowly. I have seen bruises last years on a knee

Yeah I had a few bruises before on my legs and especially on my knee, took a while so I pretty much estimated that it would do the same, so, just to help it should I put ice on it? Like I forgot to mention I have a slight bump on it; not too sensitive but it just feels weird when I touch it.

That could be from leaning on it if it feels better to put ice on it go for it but like Colleen said you might want to go see a doctor about it

Bruises change change color before they heal.

I’m pretty sure when a bruise gets darker it is healing.

Put a cold compress. Apply ice for about 15 minutes at a time, and always put something like a towel or wash cloth between the ice and your skin.
