Large Bruise Above Knee With White Spot In The Centre, Swelling, Numbness. Cause Of Concern?
I was in an ATV accident two years ago. I had some pretty bad injuries, but there was this huge bruise right above my knee . The bruise had a white spot at the center, and the surrounding area of the white spot was the bruise. It got swollen and numb. Two years later the swelling is still here were the white spot was in the middle of the bruise, and it is still numb. Is this a reason for concern?
