Why do some bruises having a burning sensation?
When red blood cells leak out of veins or capillaries, the hemoglobin stays inside them for a while. Then the red cells break open and the hemoglobin leaks out. Hemoglobin ordinarily breaks down in the liver, where your body turns it into bile, (biliverdin, which is green, and bilirubin, which is reddish). If the hemoglobin breaks down under your skin in a bruise, the components that would normally go into your bile cause burning and itching because they irritate your nerves.
Neural damage will change or alter how your brain interprets the healing process; for the nociceptors regenerate while receiving stimulus from other repairs being done to other surrounding tissue cells.

How to administer first aid for a bruise
A bruise forms when a blow breaks blood vessels near your skin's surface, allowing a small amount of blood to leak into the tissues under your skin. The trapped blood may cause a bruise that at first looks like a black-and-blue mark and then changes color as it heals.
You can enhance bruise healing with a few simple techniques. Remember RICE, for rest, ice, compress and elevate:
If your skin isn't broken, you don't need a bandage. Consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever if needed.
These signs and symptoms may indicate a more serious problem, such as a blood-clotting problem or blood-related disease.

A second-degree burn, which often looks wet or moist, affects the first and second layers of skin (epidermis and dermis). Blisters may develop and pain can be severe.
Burns are tissue damage that results from heat, overexposure to the sun or other radiation, or chemical or electrical contact. Burns can be minor medical problems or life-threatening emergencies.
The treatment of burns depends on the location and severity of the damage. Sunburns and small scalds can usually be treated at home. Deep or widespread burns need immediate medical attention. Some people need treatment at specialized burn centers and monthslong follow-up care.
Your skin has three layers that house your sweat and oil glands, hair follicles, melanocytes, and blood vessels.
Third-degree burns extend into the fat layer that lies beneath the dermis. The skin may appear stiff, waxy white, leathery or tan. These types of burns usually require skin grafts for wound closure.
Radiation burns can be caused by X-rays or radiation therapy to treat cancer.
Burn symptoms vary depending on how deep the skin damage is. It can take a day or two for the signs and symptoms of a severe burn to develop.

Everyone knows what a bruise looks like, but may not understand exactly what’s happening under the skin. When the soft tissues of the body experience mild trauma, the small veins and capillaries (the smallest blood vessels in your body) under the skin sometimes break, and red blood cells leak out. When this happens, the red blood cells collect under your skin, and your skin turns a shade of red, blue, purple or black. The size and severity of a bruise depend on how much force was applied during the injury.
You can often tell the age of a bruise from the color. As the body breaks down the red blood cells, the bruise changes color and is a natural part of the healing process. Here are the colors a typical bruise goes through and what it means:
Bruises are also called contusions. Hematomas are similar to bruises, except they are more serious and symptoms develop much more rapidly. They are also larger, deeper and tend to have more significant swelling than a typical bruise. Hematomas in the head, face and abdomen can cause severe symptoms. If you experience any of the following symptoms after a head, face or abdomen trauma, visit State Urgent Care as soon as possible to avoid further complications:
Bruises are typically surface injuries that heal on their own without medical attention, and people can treat them safely at home. However, if you suffer a more significant trauma or injury and have bruising that does not heal and disappear after 2 weeks, then it’s time to get medical attention.
See your doctor or visit State Urgent Care right away if you notice any of the following symptoms:
People taking prescription blood thinners should also talk to their doctor if they suffer a fall or significant injury, as they have a higher risk of bruising and complications from bruising. Here are additional conditions that increase your risk of significant bruising and complications:
While the occasional bruise is not normally a cause for concern, easy bruising could be. If you notice more frequent or more serious bruising, talk to a medical professional, as they can help you diagnose and treat the root cause of your bruising.
Mild to moderate bruises typically heal after 2 weeks, though some may heal more quickly. If you have mild to moderate bruising and would like to speed the healing process or lessen any pain associated with it, here are a few things you can try at home:
If you need medical attention for your bruise , visit State Urgent Care. We welcome walk-in appointments 7 days a week from 8 a.m. – 7 p.m. for non-life-threatening illnesses and injuries.
