It won't help it heal and bruises don't require covering.

Does your family do that for bruises? I find that very interesting!

For thread compliancy, I feel okay. I'm getting hungry as it's been 6 hours and change since I ate but I am heading to bed so I'll just suck it up, get some shuteye and have a big breakfast later.
I used "bruised" as a generic term for a boo boo.
When I picture a shopping cart running into someone's heel I imagine broken skin actually not a bruise per se.
