A bruise occurs From blood leaking from damaged skin tissue into the intertital layers of the skin usually from an impact. It will be dark from the onset but will lighten to a greenish yellow as the body cleans these dead blood cells out of the damaged area. Eventually it will clean up

Red=blood leaking. blue/black=no oxygen in blood. green=”dead” blood. yellow=almost healed bruise. no more bruise=your body has digested the blood and it’s gone.

Brown and purple are mix of the second and third stage of a bruise

Recently in science class we have learned that when you get a bruise it goes through every color of the rainbow. So if this happens to u, it is completly normal. The cause of this could be from dead blood cells, or the process of u growing a new layer of tissue on your skin. ~hope this helps 8-D
