Ecchymosis, no active treatment required
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photograph and you seem to have developed ecchymosis.
It occurs due to bleeding in the skin caused by usually some unnoticed trauma or injury.
No need to worry as it will subside in 7-10 days.
