I am a 20 year old male. I want to know what does a bruised elbow look like? Mine is purplish after falling from a game today.

If it doesn’t go away within 2 weeks, or movement restrictions, get evaluated. If severe pain, get imaging to make sure no fracture
It's bruised. Might need to evaluate for fracture if it doesn't improve right away.
Bruises come in many forms. Purple tint does indicate broken blood vessels that can be a result of a fall.
