First off: this is a very good article. Concise, well written, and informative. Second: I have heard that nutrition affects how easily one bruises, that being deficient in some vitamin or another can make you more susceptible to bruises. Is there any truth in that?

[edit] Non-injury bruises
Recommend that we add more on ecchymosis / hematomas not caused by injury.
For example: "allergy shiners" http://www.allergynursing.com/questions3/shiners.html , bubos in bubonic plague, etc.
i'm not so sure about the images and their descriptions.... wouldn't it be better for the images to illustrate some factual point about bruises? Blueaster 06:39, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
How about mentioning bruising as a result of surgery? I just had surgery and I have bruising. It's taking longer to heal than a typical bruise. Splent 07:05, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
Yea,but it still goes away.
[edit] Bruise Treatments
Shouldn't we have bruise treatments as well on this page? I mean, Quite frankly, some people might want to know. Personally, I would say Treatments on these pages would be good. Theres treatment ways on the wound, but we should have some on bruises. Amiyashi-Yuzi 21:34 19 April 2007 (MST)

[edit] Boo boo
Jonathan Tomajko 01:32, 24 August 2007 (UTC)I just want to say that I wanted to create an article for Boo Boo from The Yogi Bear Show, but whenever I search for Boo Boo it brings me here, so therefore I cannot create one, unless you fix this issue.
[edit] Ecchymosis
Per WP:MEDMOS, would there be opposition to moving this article to ecchymosis and redirecting this there? Antelan talk 03:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Severity?
How can the severity of a bruise be determined? The article says minor bruises have blue or purple colour. What colour do major bruises have then? Do major bruises hurt more? How severe would a hand-sized, almost solid purple bruise that does not hurt at all be? JIP | Talk 20:56, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
