Signs of ecchymosis are:

1. Blue-black spot on the skin
2. Pain on pressure
3. Tissue swelling
4. The spot increases over time

Ecchymosis usually does not pose a serious danger and goes away on its own within 1-2 weeks. However, sometimes they can indicate a more serious injury or illness. Therefore, if extensive ecchymoses are detected, especially for no apparent reason, you should consult a doctor.
