A bruise is a contusion. Bruises or contusions are not really classified, but the cause and injury to other structures are classified, such as "blunt trauma". Most bruising in healthy individuals is not a cause for alarm. The injury to other structures is the concern.
Note: Unusual bruising without injury can also be a cause for concern.
