The purple stuff is coagulated blood and the red color, well you know is blood.
Broken blood vessels under your skin causes the bruise. Give it a couple of days to heal and apply hot packs.
Bruises occur when the underlying tissue of the skin is damaged but the skin is not broken. Blood vessels have been ruptured, and thus have released blood into the surrounding tissue, including the skin.
yopu can't really do anything. It happens when a blood vessel is ruptured and causes the blood in that vaine to come closer to the skin, thus giving it the desinct color
A bruise is also called a contusion (say: ken-too-zhen), and it forms after a hard enough bump to the soft tissues under your skin. When these tissues are injured, small veins and capillaries (the tiniest blood vessels) under the skin sometimes break. These blood vessels then leak out red blood cells.
The red blood cells that collect under your skin are what cause that bluish, purplish, reddish, or blackish mark. That's where black-and-blue marks get their name - from their color on the skin.
Some people bruise easily whereas others may have tougher skin tissue. Despite the many ways you can get them, bruises pretty much go through the same colorful changes as the body begins to healitself.
A bruise will turn nearly all the colors in the rainbow before it finally fades away. The color changes mean that your body is metabolizing (say: meh-tab-ah-lie-zing), or breaking down, the blood cells in the skin. This is the chemical process that your body goes through to repair itself.
Put some ice on it and it will start to heal.

A bruise is formed when blood rushes to an area close to the skin to heal an area which has been damaged. The colors are there because the blood is not getting fresh oxygen. It is not harmful and will go away in a few days. Using an ice pack will decrease the healing time.

a bruise is an area were blood has pooled but stays under the skin. you describe a bad one. i would siggest you keep the area clean and be careful around it. you may want to show it to someone you trust.
as you probably know, when you fall, you can get a bruise. A bruise is caused by when you break blook vessels, the more damage, the darker the bruise, the more blood lost.

Methemoglobin is a form of Hemoglobulin. Difference is Hmg has oxigen and red instead of purple like MetHmg. So when it bleeds in ur capilleries red blood cells with Hmg degrades by Macrophages and MetHmg waits Macrophages to use them as Iron source.
