Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the narrated lesion of circular bruise with no pain after history of fall from bike indicates underlying hematoma with superficial changes of the skin.

* The skin overlying show up various color changes as per the degradation status of the collected blood as heme lysis and which may show up as altered hue of green, light blue like skin color.

* Primary relief with ice application and later on prescription of antibiotics with anti inflammatory medications will help to resolve it faster way.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
