皮肤下的血管破裂形成淤青。淤积的血液会造成淤青,起初呈黑色、紫色或青色,在愈合过程中,颜色会逐渐改变。

您可以通过一些简单的技巧来加速瘀伤的愈合。

  • 如有可能,将淤青部位抬至高于心脏水平。
  • 用薄毛巾裹住冰袋进行冰敷。冰敷 20 分钟。在受伤后的一两天内,每天重复多次。这有助于缓解肿胀和疼痛。
  • 如果瘀青部位肿胀,可用弹性绷带包扎,但不要扎得太紧。

如皮肤未破损,则无需使用绷带包扎瘀青部位。如果需要,可以考虑服用非处方止痛药。

如果出现以下情况,请咨询医务人员:

  • 淤青部位异常疼痛肿胀
  • 怀疑淤青因虐待儿童、家庭暴力或虐待老人所致
  • 看似轻微的损伤在三天后疼痛感仍然强烈
  • 频繁出现大面积或疼痛的瘀青
  • 突然或无缘无故出现淤青
  • 有容易瘀青或出血的个人或家族病史
  • 发现瘀青处出现肿块,这可能是血液滞留(血肿)的体征
  • 出现异常出血,如鼻或牙龈出血

Treatment

You can enhance bruise healing with a few simple techniques.

  • Elevate the bruised area above heart level, if possible.
  • Apply an ice pack wrapped in a thin towel. Leave it in place for 20 minutes. Repeat several times for a day or two after the injury. This helps to reduce the swelling and pain.
  • If the bruised area is swelling, put an elastic bandage around it, but not too tight.

If the skin isn't broken, you don't need to bandage a bruise. Consider taking a nonprescription pain reliever if needed.

Consult a healthcare professional if you:

  • Have very painful swelling in the bruised area.
  • Suspect a bruise has been caused by child abuse, domestic violence or elder abuse.
  • Still have pain three days after a minor injury.
  • Have frequent, large or painful bruises.
  • Have bruises that begin suddenly or seem to develop for no reason.
  • Have a personal or family history of easy bruising or bleeding.
  • Notice a lump form over the bruise, which may be a sign of pooling blood, also called a hematoma.
  • Have unusual bleeding, such as from the nose or gums.
