Bruise

Read about bruises in simple English to learn what they are, how they heal, and how to take care of them safely.

1.1

A bruise is a dark mark on the skin. It can be blue, purple, or green. A bruise happens when someone hits their arm, leg, or another part of the body. It can happen from falling, or bumping into something. Anyone can get a bruise.

Un moretón es una marca oscura en la piel. Puede ser azul, púrpura o verde. Un moretón ocurre cuando alguien se golpea el brazo, la pierna u otra parte del cuerpo. Puede ocurrir por una caída o por chocar contra algo. Cualquiera puede tener un moretón.

1.2

A bruise can hurt when you touch it, but sometimes it does not hurt much. The skin is not cut, and there is no blood on the outside. The blood stays under the skin, and that is why the color changes.

Un moretón puede doler cuando lo tocas, pero a veces no duele mucho. La piel no está cortada y no hay sangre en el exterior. La sangre se queda debajo de la piel, y por eso cambia de color.

1.3

A bruise usually gets better in a few days. Each day, the color may change. It may look purple first, then green, then yellow. When the color goes away, the bruise is healed.

Un moretón suele mejorar en unos días. Cada día, el color puede cambiar. Puede verse morado primero, luego verde, luego amarillo. Cuando el color desaparece, el moretón está curado.

Moretón
1.4

There are simple ways to take care of a bruise. People can rest the hurt area. They can also put something cold on it, like ice wrapped in a cloth. This helps the bruise feel better.

Hay formas sencillas de cuidar un hematoma. Las personas pueden descansar el área lastimada. También pueden poner algo frío sobre él, como hielo envuelto en un paño. Esto ayuda a que el hematoma se sienta mejor.

1.5

People should be gentle with the bruise. They should not press it hard. If the bruise is on the leg or arm, it may help to keep the leg or arm up for a short time.

Las personas deben ser suaves con el hematoma. No deben presionarlo fuerte. Si el hematoma está en la pierna o el brazo, puede ayudar mantener la pierna o el brazo en alto por un corto tiempo.

1.6

Most bruises are not serious. They go away on their own. If a bruise is very big, very painful, or does not get better, a person should tell a doctor.

La mayoría de los moretones no son graves. Desaparecen por sí solos. Si un moretón es muy grande, muy doloroso o no mejora, una persona debe decírselo a un médico.

1.7

A bruise is common. It can happen to anyone. With rest and care, the bruise will fade and the skin will look normal again.

Un moretón es común. Puede ocurrirle a cualquiera. Con reposo y cuidado, el moretón desaparecerá y la piel volverá a verse normal.
