Bruising is not as common as other symptoms on this list, but it surely can be a problem. When you experience bruising, it's because blood vessels have ruptured. These vessels are near your skin's surface which is why they're so visible. You will see black and blue discoloration and feel pain. Bruising is no big deal. You can treat it easily. You can take medicine for it, or you can put ice on it and wait for it to go away. Either way, you should be careful too. You can aggravate bruising by wearing overly tight clothes. Avoid that, and you'll be fine.
