A woman's<unk> ng after a severe fall.<unk> s often induce pain immediately after the trauma that results in their formation, but small<unk> s are not normally dangerous alone. Sometimes<unk> s can be serious, leading to other more life-threatening forms of hematoma, such as when associated with serious injuries, including fractures and more severe internal bleeding. The likelihood and severity of<unk> ng depends on many factors, including type and healthiness of affected tissues. Minor<unk> s may be easily recognized in people with light skin color by characteristic blue or purple appearance (idiomatically described as "black and blue") in the days following the injury. Hematomas can be subdivided by size. By definition, ecchymoses are 1 centimetres in size or larger, and are therefore larger than petechiae (less than 3 millimetres in diameter) or purpura (3 to 10 millimetres in diameter). Ecchymoses also have a more diffuse border than other purpura. A broader definition of ecchymosis is the escape of blood into the tissues from ruptured blood vessels. The term also applies to the subcutaneous discoloration resulting from seepage of blood within the injured tissue.<unk>  colors vary from red, blue, or almost black, depending on the severity of broken capillaries or blood vessels within the<unk>  site. Broken venules or arterioles often result in a deep blue or dark red<unk> , respectively. Darker colored<unk> s may result from a more severe bleeding from both blood vessels. Older<unk> s may appear yellow, green or brown.
