Body heals and breaks down the hemoglobin, or compound that gives blood its red color, the bruise will change in color. In about 5?10 days, it turns a yellow or green color. These colors come from compounds called biliverdin and bilirubin that the body produces when it breaks down hemoglobin. Let's have a detailed discussion to ensure proper treatment.
