Looks Like A Bruise But Not Sore

Are all bruises sore?

not to freak you out

But if you have suspicious looking spots / bruises / a rash you should always do the glass test for meningitis.
It is easy to do.

If you don't know what it is all you need to do is get a clear glass tumbler and press the side of the glass over the bruise/spot.
Look through the glass at the spot and if the color fades you are okay but if it doesn't then it could point to meningitis.

If you have a fever, stiff neck, sore head or any other symptoms get medical help quickly.

But to answer your question bruises don't always have to be sore, no. Maybe all you are seeing arespider veins or just regular broken blood vessels.

Feels like a bruise but not visible?

You bruised the bone. It hurts like crazy and takes a long time to heal, but often you can't see it. Like any other bruise, it hurts when you poke it. Just leave it alone, and it will heal. Depending on how bad you hit it originally, it could last up to a couple months. If you cracked a bone, it would do about the same thing... lots of pain that lasts for a long time. The difference is that with cracked bones, there's usually a visible bruise above it along with some swelling. I'm betting it's just a bad bruise. I've done it plenty of times. When it hurts, an ice pack feels really nice.

Is it normal for a sunburn to develop into a bruise?

This past Sunday I went to a beach with my boyfriend and his family, and it seems I forgot to put suntan lotion on my back around my shoulder blades.

After two days, one of my shoulders is tender to the touch and it gives off the feeling of a bruise, as well as apparently looking like one. I was just wondering if this was normal? I don't remember bumping it in anyway or doing something to cause a bruise there.

Why do my cuts feel bruised?

* Please no lectures I know cutting is bad I am unable to get any help right now as I'm uninsured but I plan to see a therapist after I have insurance.

I cut myself on the underside of my wrist 2 days ago and today my cuts feel bruised. I mean it's not the normal type of pain I have after cutting (and I've been cutting for 2 years now) it feels like there's a huge bruise on my wrist. The big vein on my wrist looks normal but all the littler ones are purple and on the middle of a few of them there are these red spots that are more sore than the rest of the skin. I was really frantic when I cut and I didn't make sure the razor was clean or anything, I think it might have been dirty. Like just lightly touching the skin hurts. Could something be wrong or am I just worrying over nothing??

My eye feels like it's bruised but I haven't injured it and there no stye?

This sound like it is most likely a cold in the eye. Such is caused by a virus and symptoms vary based on the actual source.

While many sources describe the most common symptom as being a visible redness in the white of the eye, this does not always occur as it is a secondary symptom, most usually caused not by the virus but by the prodding and touching of the eye due to discomfort, causing irritation with the transferal of oils and bacteria in to the eye.

The most common primary symptoms of an eye cold are pain, tenderness and swelling of the surrounding lids. Others often include a slight mucus forming to one corner or dryness. When contemplating symptoms it is important to remember that, similar to a traditional cold, not all symptoms are required to appear and often vary (some only sneeze, others have a clogged nose, and still others only a cough etc.).

The most useful remedy I have found when with a cold in the eye is applying a warm/hot WET washcloth over the closed eye. This has always tended to dull the pain while also serving a double purpose of moistening the eye is dry and drawing mucus out if there is any.

As for how long this lasts, this depends entirely upon your current immune system and can last anywhere from a single day to over two weeks in bad or lingering cases. Most common personal experience lends self-turnaround time around 5-7 days but this is different for everyone.

Do remember though that a cold in the eye IS contagious, however contagions are passed through contact with the infected eye. In other words, another should not touch your eye without gloves and/or hand-washing, and you should make sure to wash your hands after any time you touch your eye.

Hope this helps, feel better.
