Would Bruise With Lump On Forearm Be Due To Bug Bite?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...
I have a bruise about the size of a quarter on my inner left forearm and in the middle of the bruise there is a hard lump that is tender to the touch. I don't remember bumping my arm. Would this be a bug bite?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it is a bug bite. You can try using an anti inflammatory pain killer to see if this helps with the pain.
Swelling occurs as part of the body's inflammatory response to any trauma. It should resolve within a few days.
I hope this helps
