Suggest Treatment For Bruise On The Shoulder
Question: i noticed a bruise when I undressed Tuesday evening (I spent the day on various airplanes and had not been involved in any falls of any kind - While my luggage was checked, I did have 2 shoulder bags that I carried throughout the day) Could the bruise be a result of the bag(s) rubbing against my side?

Brief Answer:
Bruise
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
You are concerned about finding a bruise. This bruise could easily be from the shearing action of carrying bags. The shearing would cause the bruise without having pain. Also if you are on aspirin daily for your heart that would make you more susceptible to bruising. I do not think you have anything dangerous or concerning from this painless bruise.
I hope I answered your question. Please contact us again if you have any additional questions
