What happens when something cuts your bruise?

If the cut is shallow and does not affect the deeper layers of the skin, it may sting or bleed slightly, but it will not significantly impact the healing process of the original bruise. The cut may scab over, but the underlying bruise will still follow its normal course of fading over time.

However, if the cut is deep, it may disrupt the healing process of the bruise. It can lead to bleeding, pain, and swelling and potentially expose the tissue underneath to infection or further damage. In such cases, it's essential to seek medical attention to ensure proper wound care and monitoring to avoid complications.
