Even though I am not specifically looking at cuts my wound would still have broken the skin so I technically I am looking at that. Due to the fact my bite mark is brand new on my character the bruising will be little to non existent however, my character is a victim of domestic violence so will have various other bruises over her face. For example, I will be giving her a black eye that will be about 2/3 days old.
CUTS
1. Depending on the deepness of the cut the wound would be bleeding a lot, a blood clot is then formed, type of cut depends on the time it takes the body to form a blood clot. The bleeding is reduced to a minimum.
2. Soon after the initial reaction the wound starts to get inflamed to help send cells to the effected area, this will cause the skin to slightly swell and become red. Wet blood is still present but not squirting everywhere. This is the stage I am going to reproduce when it comes to my wound.
3. 2-3 days after the wound has occurred cells are released to try and close the wound this would then form a scab.
4. This stage may take up to a year to be complete but collagen is released to try to remake the skin and replace the scab, this is how scarring is made
Info
BRUISES
1. The effected area will immediately have no bruising only swelling and redness.
2. Only after a few days will a bruise appear - the colour of a bruise represents something different.
Red - Sometimes occurs when you first get a bruise, this is blood leaking out nearer the surface.
Blue - Depending on the depth of the bruise you see this a few days after, its the blood thats leaked losing oxygen.
Purple/Black - After a couple days, red blood cells start to breakdown and release iron causing this colouration.
3. A bruise will stay this colour for a few days until it started to change.
Green - This signals that your bruise is starting to fade, this usually happens around the edges.
Yellow - This is the final stage and the signal that the bruise is quite old and will be gone soon.
