Each person fell into a situation when he accidentally fell and hit. In almost all cases, a blue spot appeared on the part of the body where the main blow occurred, brightening and changing its color to yellow as it heals. Most people wait for this characteristic spot to disappear on its own. But what if the yellow bruise appears in a prominent place that you can’t hide under your clothes?
Buffy hematomas
Characteristic yellow bruises appear at the site of the bruise, inside which blood vessels burst, releasing their contents under a layer of skin. When the blood is outside the boundaries of such familiar walls, the process of splitting of hemoglobin begins, which is responsible for the color of the bruised place. At first it is purple, with a slight blue tint, then it turns yellow-green and gradually, approaching the healing moment, it becomes yellow-brown.
Among the most popular causes of bruising, you can recall these:
- Vitamin C deficiency
- The memory accidentally erased an episode when a person fell or hit, considering it not so important.
- Pathologies in the work of endocrine organs or in their interaction with the central nervous system are fraught with the appearance of sudden bruises.
- Hypertension, tonsillitis, rheumatism and kidney diseases, as well as pathologies in the circulatory system make themselves felt with colored spots throughout the body.
Bruises after injections
Reasons for the appearance:
- Error in the process of choosing the injection site. For example, you need to give an injection on the upper part of the right buttock. Experienced doctors advise to mentally divide the buttock into four areas and make an injection at the right time. If the person working with the syringe made a mistake and got into another muscle part, sending the medicine to less elastic tissues, then there is a high probability that a bruise will appear in this place.
- The injection did not have enough depth for a full impact. All gluteal muscles are located under an impressive layer of subcutaneous fat. If the syringe was not injected along the entire length of the needle, then the medicine with 100% probability will fall into the fat area, causing bruising.
- Got a viral infection. If, along with an injection, foreign bacteria get on the body, then they will provoke the onset of subcutaneous inflammatory process. In turn, it forms spots on the body that resemble multi-colored hematomas.
- They injected a very tense muscle. Under such an influence, an abundant blood supply begins at the injection site, which can enter the fatty tissue. And already the blood that got into the wrong place provokes the appearance of bruises.
When there is no special reason
It happens that characteristic hematomas appear on the body, and a person cannot remember the reason guilty of their formation. In this case, a special method will help, starting from the place where they appeared:
- Face and eyelids - more common in women whose body has entered the menopause phase. As a result of estrogen deficiency, hormonal imbalance begins, tearing blood vessels and causing sudden bruising.
- Legs - vessels are too fragile due to vitamin deficiency in this part of the body.
- Abdomen - it is urgent to check the internal organs for hidden pathologies.
- Veins are a striking feature of varicose veins.
- Breast - in some cases, signal the onset of cancer.
Methods for quickly getting rid of bruises
The fast-acting remedies for yellowish spots include medical ointments: Hepatrombin gel, Fastum gel, Troxevasin, Indovazin, and so on.
If hematomas appear without the effect of a bruise, you can use more useful methods. More egg yolks, fish oil, and green foods like broccoli or spinach should be included in your daily diet. They contain a lot of potassium, without which normal blood coagulation is impossible. For an additional effect on the site of the hematoma, regular compresses can be made consisting of boiled potatoes, honey and soda in their uniforms. This mixture is mixed to a homogeneous slurry consistency and bruises are periodically lubricated.
Onion lovers can use a different recipe. It is necessary to peel and boil one onion, make gruel from it, add the dried leaves of plantain, crushed into powder, add honey and mix to a state of dense mass without lumps. Before use, this pulp is heated in a water bath and bruises are rubbed three times a day, moving with a kind of compress for at least two hours.
Equally well helps tincture of calendula flowers. They buy it at a pharmacy or cook it on their own. To this end, 20 grams of grass is poured with 100 ml of alcoholic infusion and insisted in a dark place for 14 days. The finished tincture is filtered and compresses and lotions for sore spots are prepared from it.
If a person wants to reduce yellow bruises, then he can use scarlet leaves or a mixture consisting of soy flour, which is attached to the surface of the hematoma. In some cases, they can be replaced with garlic: pour 2 heads with vinegar for a day. If you infuse hematomas with this infusion at least a couple of times a day, you can achieve impressive results.
