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.

Um hematoma é uma marca escura na pele. Pode ser azul, roxo ou verde. Um hematoma acontece quando alguém bate no braço, perna ou outra parte do corpo. Pode acontecer por cair ou bater em algo. Qualquer pessoa pode ter um hematoma.

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.

Um hematoma pode doer quando você o toca, mas às vezes não dói muito. A pele não está cortada e não há sangue do lado de fora. O sangue fica sob a pele, e é por isso que a cor muda.

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.

Um hematoma geralmente melhora em alguns dias. A cada dia, a cor pode mudar. Pode parecer roxo primeiro, depois verde, depois amarelo. Quando a cor desaparece, o hematoma está curado.

Contusão
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.

Existem maneiras simples de cuidar de um hematoma. As pessoas podem descansar a área machucada. Elas também podem colocar algo frio sobre ele, como gelo enrolado em um pano. Isso ajuda o hematoma a se sentir melhor.

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.

As pessoas devem ser gentis com o hematoma. Não devem pressioná-lo com força. Se o hematoma estiver na perna ou no braço, pode ajudar manter a perna ou o braço elevados por um curto período.

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.

A maioria dos hematomas não é grave. Eles desaparecem por conta própria. Se um hematoma for muito grande, muito doloroso ou não melhorar, a pessoa deve informar um 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.

Um hematoma é comum. Pode acontecer com qualquer um. Com repouso e cuidados, o hematoma desaparecerá e a pele voltará ao normal.
