What is the outlook for bleeding into the skin?

Bleeding into the skin is usually minor and heals on its own within about two weeks. Occasionally, certain medications (like blood thinners) or chronic conditions can make you more likely to develop bleeding into the skin. Treating underlying conditions can lower your risk of bruising. Your healthcare provider may also recommend stopping the medications that cause bleeding. (But don’t stop taking any medications without consulting your healthcare provider.)
