How long does it take for a bruise caused by a shot to go away?

This depends entirely on your body's ability to heal.
The "shot" I take to be an injection applied to the arm.
The bruise in most people would take about 7 days to heal and disperse.
A bruise is simply bleeding that is confined inside the layers of skin.
Some people take longer ... up to two weeks, while older people may take up to four weeks.
Hope this helps you.

it depends on how your skin normally reacts to bruises.
that and how deep the bruise is.
if it doesn't heal within a week or so, go to the doctor.
where is the bruise?
it may be that the injection was done too deeply, and the muscle was affected.

no more then a week. if it doesnt go away then maybe you are not cured. or maybe the nurse shot you too hard.

Approximately 1 month. It will be purple, then yellow, then go away.
