How long? A couple minutes to a couple hours, to even a couple days. It all depends on what kind of impact caused the bruise.


As for what causes a bruise to appear, an impact against your body that doesn't break the skin may break the blood vessels under your skin. Possibly from crushing them against a bone or simply hitting the area too hard. The blood seeps out of the capillaries, but under the skin, creating a dark spot.
