default
Posted on Thu, 27 Aug 2015
Question: I have a bruise on my stomach. Been there to my knowledge, 24+ hours.
I Don't recall hitting anything...but maybe. Not painful or painful to touch at all.
Would not be concerned, but I had a upper hernia mesh repair Nov. 1, 2004.

Brief Answer:
Possible Bruise.Wait for spontaneous resolution.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,

I understand your concern.

I have gone through the uploaded image.

This probably is a bruise from unnoticed trauma.

Its probably not related to the hernia mesh repair,its not painful or causing you any discomfort ant the moment.

I advise you to adopt a wait and watch policy on this.

In case it does not resolve in 3 days,I advise you to go for an Ultrasound abdomen.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
