Síntomas:

Los principales síntomas son dolor, inflamación y decoloración de la piel.

Por ejemplo, un hematoma profundo en el muslo duele cuando usted camina o corre.

Con el tiempo, el hematoma cambia a un color azuloso, luego amarillo-verdoso y finalmente regresa al color normal de la piel a medida que sana.
