Hello,
I understand your concern.
I am Dr. Arun Tank, infectious diseases specialist, answering your query.

In my opinion you should not worry if you do not have any breathing problem.

If such injury is associated with fracture and breatheing problem than it is worry ful.

I have not read any of the problems in your question. So you should not worry.

The bruises requires some time to heal. Once blood is dried it gradually goes up. May require a month duration. Maintain the hygiene till that time.


I will be happy to answer your further concern, you can ask me on bit.ly/DrArun.
Thank you.
