How can I prevent bleeding into the skin?

Usually, bleeding into the skin occurs after an impact injury. Ice and elevate the area immediately after an injury to lower the chances that a bruise will develop. If you play contact sports, always wear protective gear.

If you have a condition that leads to easy bruising, seek care from your healthcare provider. Ongoing treatment of chronic conditions can lower your risk of complications such as bleeding into the skin.
