Tag: Subcutaneous hematoma

While a minor bruise or contusion often fades within a couple of weeks, a larger or deeper hematoma can take significantly longer to heal. The duration of recovery for a hematoma depends heavily on its size, location, and the body’s ability to absorb the pooled blood.

The most common site for hematoma formation is just under the skin, known as a subcutaneous hematoma or a bruise, occurring frequently from minor bumps or falls. However, hematomas can occur anywhere in the body, and their seriousness is largely dependent on their location.
