Excerpt

Ecchymoses occur due to local haemorrhages with red blood cell (RBC) extravasation into soft tissues. It can develop after a trauma, a surgical procedure, a cosmetic procedure or even spontaneously, especially in patients taking anticoagulant drugs or with coagulation alterations. Moreover, the prevalence of this condition is on the rise due to the increasing use of chronic anticoagulation therapies. …
