I can't send a pic, but it's a quarter-sized bruise on the left-centre side of my belly, not painful. A generic answer will do. Thank you

Brief Answer:
Monitor for any changes!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will suggest that you monitor only for any changes. If it persists or become bigger, then you would need to get it examined. If it doesn’t/regresses, then we can stop getting bothered. Any fever, increased in size or pain should prompt immediate consultation.

Thanks
