Should I Be Worried About The Hard And Raised Bruise On The Elbow?
Hi. My son (7) has a donut shaped bruise on his arm, just below the elbow. It seems to have gotten worse and it has been 3-4 days. The middle of the bruise is skin toned, and is a bit hard, and raised. Just wondering whether he should be taken to see a doctor?

Hello. I just read through your question.
As long as he is able to bend the elbow, he will be fine. It often takes time for these bruises to heal.
