Bruises often become more prominent as time lapses, resulting in additional size and swelling, and may grow to a large size over the course of the hours after the injury that caused the bruise was inflicted. Condition and type of tissue: In soft tissues, a larger area is bruised than would be in firmer tissue due to ease of blood to invade tissue.
If the area is only mildly affected with slight redness, the condition may resolve after a few months. If the condition is severe and the skin pigmented and atrophic, then it is unlikely to resolve. In this case, there is a possibility that a squamous cell carcinoma or a neuroendocrine carcinoma such as a Merkel cell carcinoma may form. [ 6 ]
A strain is a type of acute injury that occurs to the muscle or tendon.

Some of the most common places that strains occur are in the foot, back of the leg (hamstring), or back. [2]
Some hematomas are visible under the surface of the skin (commonly called bruises) or possibly felt as masses or lumps. Lumps may be caused by the limitation of the blood to a sac, subcutaneous or intramuscular tissue space isolated by fascial planes. This is a key anatomical feature that helps prevent injuries from causing massive blood loss.
