A subcutaneous hematoma is caused by little bleeding from damaged subcutaneous blood vessels. Usually, the cause is minor injuries or contusions, which we experience.
If bruises appear frequently and last a long time, do not ignore them. After all, they do not look aesthetically pleasing, and sometimes they can be a symptom of serious ailments, including lymphoma.
If a bruise or hematoma occurs without any visible trauma, basic blood tests should be performed. In the case of large hematomas surgical intervention may be necessary. Medical intervention is also required when there is a risk of internal injuries and severe internal bleeding.
