Bruise with liquid under the skin after accident?

A bruise with liquid under the skin, often referred to as a hematoma, occurs when blood vessels break due to trauma, causing blood to pool in the surrounding tissue. This can lead to swelling and a noticeable bulge under the skin. If the hematoma is large or accompanied by severe pain, it may require medical evaluation to determine if further treatment or drainage is needed. Monitoring for changes in color or size and seeking medical attention if symptoms worsen is advisable.
