What are hematomas commonly known as?

Cuts
Wounds
Bruises
Scars

The correct answer is: Bruises

Hematomas are commonly known as bruises because they occur when blood vessels break and blood leaks into the surrounding tissues, causing discoloration and swelling under the skin. This collection of blood can result from trauma or injury, leading to the familiar blue, purple, or black appearance associated with bruises. The process involves inflammation and the body's natural healing mechanisms, causing the color of the bruise to change over time as it heals. Understanding this relationship helps in recognizing the signs of injury and facilitates appropriate treatment or care.
