    A - a medical term for common bruise.

    Explanation:

    This is a type of closed wound inflicted by a blunt object. Therefore the epidermis remains intact but there is disruption of the underlying dermis structure. Blood usually leaks from the damaged capillaries into the surrounding areas. And this marked the meaning of contusion.

    It usually affects both the bones and soft tissues. When it occurs in the bone it is bone contusion, muscles as muscle contusion or as in the question; to the skin as skin contusion.

    Adequate rests, cold compression, elevation of the affected part. or compression with bandage are the methods of treatment.

    Bone contusion takes longer time to heal with X-ray examination, but other forms heal naturally.
