What Causes A Bruise On The Inner Elbow That Clears Over Night?

Hi, my son had what appeared to be a nasty purple bruise on the inside of his elbow when he got home from school, it definitely was not there the night before and I am sure he or I would have noticed it that morning (but cannot guarantee). It wouldn t blanch so was a bit concerned but no other symptoms so decided it was a bruise although no idea from what. Almost looked like tyre imprint with splatters around it. Still there at 8pm when he went to bed, 7am next morning it had completely vanished. Was about 4cms across at a guess. Any ideas?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in children such skin mark could be due to injury only and it can not be anything else if this does not have any other symptoms and if this is being subsides without any treatment, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
