What Causes A Circular Bruise On The Arm?
Hello, I have a circle dark black almost bruise looking mark on the inside of my right arm. It s raised and has a light pin point center that pale... I do not recall anything that could have caused it. As I have been in the hospital, my husband was ill, I was just visiting.. so I m puzzled. I also feel it s slightly larger than before.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to a hematoma.
I recommend using cold compress or ice pack application for 20 to 30 minutes.
I also recommend using pain medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol)
You can also use vitamin K cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
