Penetran+Plus can help when dealing with the common bruises, including bruising that occurs from athletic activity.
When many people see bruises on their body, they simply accept it and deal with the bruises. Treatment is available, though, that can help with swelling and muscle soreness that often accompanies common bruising.
Bruises develop when small blood vessels under the skin tear or rupture, most often from a bump or fall. Blood leaks into tissues under the skin and causes the black-and-blue color. As bruises heal, usually within 2 to 4 weeks, they often turn colors, including purplish black, reddish blue, or yellowish green. Sometimes the area of bruising spreads down the body in the direction of gravity. A bruise on a leg usually will take longer to heal than other bruises.
Treatment for bruises can be simple - most will go away on their own. Home treatment of bruising, including the application of Penetran+Plus, may speed healing and relieve the swelling and soreness that often accompany bruises that are caused by injury. But severe bruising, swelling, and pain that begin within 30 minutes of an injury may mean a more serious problem, such as a severe sprain or fracture. If you have one of these bruises, treatment from a physician should be sought.
If you bruise easily, you may not even remember what caused a bruise. Bruising easily does not mean you have a serious health problem, especially if bruising is minimal or only shows up once in a while. Older adults often bruise easily from minor injuries, especially injuries to the forearms, hands, legs, and feet. As a person ages, the skin becomes less flexible and thinner because there is less fat under the skin. The cushioning effect of the skin decreases as the fat under the skin decreases. These changes, along with skin damage from exposure to the sun, cause blood vessels to break easily. When blood vessels break, bruising occurs.
