deep or old Blow

From Fire and Swelling

Haematoma, serum, and the ten-to-fifteen-day course

Now the part of the reasoning that decides how long the course runs.

If the injury is deep and the upper skin is not particularly damaged, the blood from the capillaries cannot come outside. It collects beneath the skin instead, and that is called a haematoma.

In blood there are RBC, WBCs, platelets, calcium and many clotting factors. When the blood begins to clot, these substances get set into that clot — and as they do, a light-yellow, water-like liquid separates out. That liquid is called serum.
