What Causes Black Bruise Spot With Yellow Spot In The Middle?

I have a circular bruise black and blue with a yellow spot in the middle. I don't recall hitting anything that would cause such a large bruise. I recently had blood work done and my cholesterol was high but everything else was normal. I had uterine cance and three radiation treatments 9 months after the hysterectomy. The last radiation was the end of july.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you should consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of your skin lesion.
Following are the possibilities in your case for skin lesion.
1. Xenthoma (cholesterol infiltration in skin). You are having high cholesterol level, so possibility of this is high.
2. Radiation induced skin damage
3. Cutaneous spread of uterine cancer.
So consult dermatologist and discuss about these possibilities and first diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
You may need skin biopsy for the diagnosis.
