Answer 1

A bruise is as the others have said a closed wound, an open wound is where there is a tear, cut, rip, avulsion (flap of skin), puncture (hole) or a scrape/graze in the skins surface, causing pain, which is often weeping blood or bleeding freely.



I have link but the pictures are a bit graphic, so I will send you a email so I don't breach any Yahoo rules and regulations.

Answer 2

No a bruise is not an open wound. A bruise is a injury under the surface of the skin...A wound is anything where the skin is broken....Do a web search for open wounds.

Answer 3
