Suggest Treatment For Bruises On The Elbow And Forearm

4 days ago when I woke up, I noticed a huge bruise on my left arm right above my elbow, but on the inside. It was very hard and swollen like a golf ball in my arm and I don t remember banging it or anything and it didn t really hurt. Now the swelling is going down and the bruise is healing but there is a hard lump right in the middle of the bruise. Then today I noticed another hard lump on the inside of my left forearm! Its a smaller lump, but just as hard.. It doesn t really hurt either, but now its starting form a bruise over the lump. I was wondering how I could get these bruises without realizing and if they were connected and something more serious than just bruises?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello, greetings! Thanks for the query. Bruising without trauma usually points to clotting factors deficiency. These factors prevent internal bleeding and formation of blood clot at a site of wound. These maybe hereditary due to certain gene mutations. They can be taken care of by transfusing them into the blood. Kindly visit your general physician so that he can prescribe you a series of tests and treat you relevantly.
