What Does A Large Bruise In The Arm Pit Indicate?
I have large full bruise in each arm pit. The bruises are large circles. The left bruise has the more burning and general discomfort. On a scale of 1 to 10, only 1.5. Maybe not connected but my ankles are lightly blue, the right is more bluish an the inside. What have I got? My cat has not scratched me.
