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.

Ett blåmärke är ett mörkt märke på huden. Det kan vara blått, lila eller grönt. Ett blåmärke uppstår när någon slår armen, benet eller en annan del av kroppen. Det kan hända från att falla eller stöta emot något. Vem som helst kan få ett blåmärke.

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.

Ett blåmärke kan göra ont när du rör vid det, men ibland gör det inte så ont. Huden är inte skuren och det finns inget blod på utsidan. Blodet stannar under huden, och det är därför färgen ändras.

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.

Ett blåmärke blir vanligtvis bättre inom några dagar. Varje dag kan färgen ändras. Det kan se lila ut först, sedan grönt, sedan gult. När färgen försvinner är blåmärket läkt.

Blåmärke
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.

Det finns enkla sätt att ta hand om ett blåmärke. Människor kan vila det skadade området. De kan också lägga något kallt på det, som is insvept i en trasa. Detta hjälper blåmärket att må bättre.

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.

Människor bör vara försiktiga med blåmärket. De bör inte trycka hårt på det. Om blåmärket är på benet eller armen kan det hjälpa att hålla benet eller armen upphöjd en kort stund.

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.

De flesta blåmärken är inte allvarliga. De försvinner av sig själva. Om ett blåmärke är mycket stort, mycket smärtsamt eller inte blir bättre, bör personen berätta för en läkare.

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.

Ett blåmärke är vanligt. Det kan hända vem som helst. Med vila och omsorg kommer blåmärket att blekna och huden ser normal ut igen.
