Why don't my bruises show up?

This happens to me (diagnosed eds). Doc explained that my tissue can’t hold the fluid that causes swelling and bruising

Yeah I don't bruise colorfully unless it's a really deep/nasty one

I was diagnosed at very young age and sometimes I just swell up like a balloon. When I get a scratch it’s turns into scars instead.

i had no idea other people had this!! I get this too, it only very very very rarely swells or sometimes the most colour a bruise gets is a beer very faint yellow but that's it and it's very rare! I'm not diagnosed with EDS but I'm looking at what people have posted because I feel like I relate so much to what lots of people describe they suffer with daily, and I think I could have hEDS :)

I have swelling happen if I mess something up majorly, but bruising not really

Im diagnosed. I don’t bruise or swell either, md said it’s an Eds thing

im not diagnosed with hEDs but i most likely have it. i don’t get it either, the most discoloration in all the joints i’ve subluxed is my knuckles and those are on bad days
