Cells called phagocytes come to the site of the injury to "eat" the parts that are too damaged. One of the byproducts of this process is heat

Lot of activity happens in the area, and for living things it is a battle field. Our defense soldiers will be fighting out with foreign invaders in the form of bacteria and viruses that are threatening to enter our body through the opening on bruise. Some millions of our fighting cells get died and so are the foreigners.Lot of blood will be fueled into the site.All this activity indicates that we are fighting to cure our bruise and it is a good indication. Doctors first feel the area with their fingers to test for heat while seeing the injury more so when there is inflammation. That is my experience.

they may be warm but not "hot".
blood pooling under your skin is causing a bruise.
if you have any broken skin around the area or had trauma to it you might have an infection.
