Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
A bruise popped up out of nowhere. It wasn t there in the morning. I was home all day sitting at the table, so I did not hit myself or bump into anything. It s on my left rib, just under my breast. It s been a couple of hours since I noticed it, and it now has a red/pink line going thru it. Is that common?
It can be indicating hemolysis either due to injury or due to abnormal liver functions. Kindly consult a physician personally for proper physical evaluation and further treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
