President Trump explained that the bruises on his hand are due to his long-term use of high-dose aspirin for heart health, which causes bruising, and he prefers to stick to this dosage despite medical advice to lower it.
President Donald Trump revealed he takes a higher dose of aspirin than recommended for cardiac prevention, which causes bruising, and addressed concerns about his health and vitality, asserting his health is perfect despite visible signs of aging and recent medical tests.
Bruises, or contusions, occur when small blood vessels break and blood leaks into surrounding tissues, causing discoloration. While most bruises are harmless and heal on their own within a few days to two weeks, larger hematomas may require medical attention. To speed up healing, cold compresses, elevation, and later warm compresses can be used. Over-the-counter pain relievers and creams may help with pain and swelling, but there's limited evidence they accelerate healing. Avoid re-injury and keep the bruise out of direct sunlight for best results.
