Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
Bruises are quite common after injury. They are due to leakage of blood in the skin.
You don't have to worry as it is safe to travel by air. They will take 7-8 days to disappear on their own. You don't have to do anything for them.
I hope to have answered your query.
Wish you good luck.
