Answers:
As long as you're sure nothing is broken, don't worry about the bruise!. This is the natural course for bruising!. They go from black to blue, to orangy-yellow, and so on!. Some colors can be skipped, like not all your bruises will be this yucky yellow color, this happens when the bruise is healing!. The dark colors are from the blood seeping into the surrounding tissue, causing the discoloring!.

I assume the bruise happened from an injury and didn't just appear!. If there was no cause, mention it in the "additional comments" link!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

nah, dont worry about it!. bruises are ot always the purple you see when you first get them!. they eventually change colors and can be anything from yellow, to green,Www@Answer-Health@Com

When a bruise turns yellow, it means the bruise is healing!. It should be gone within a couple days!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, if the bruise what a bad one, it will turn different colors then slowly fade!. It's just the color of your blood that leaked out of the blood vessels when you got the bruise!. perfectly normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The Yellowing is the trapped blood which formed the bruise being reabsorbed by the body!. if the pain is uncomfortable, I would take a couple advil, as they are also antiinflamatories!. also you might try a little heat!. take care!. CheersWww@Answer-Health@Com

It's just healing, unless you've had the bruise for a week or more!.

How long have you had it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
