What does a yellow bruise mean?

The appearance of a yellow
bruise is a normal part of the healing process. Bruises typically go through different stages of color changes, starting with red or purple, then transitioning to blue or black, and finally turning yellow or green as they heal. The yellow color is a
sign that the body is breaking down and reabsorbing the blood that pooled under the skin. It's generally not a cause for alarm unless accompanied by severe pain or
other concerning symptoms.
