What Causes Small Lump Covering The Bruise On Forearm?
My husband, age 52, is taking brilinta following cardiac arrest and a Stent placed in his LAD. He bruises very easily. He impedance his forearm and developed a bruise a few weeks ago. The bruise is going away but he now has a small lump the size of a pea where the bruise is. Any idea what that may be?

Hi
Could be the collection of blood, if this is the case then you need not worry as the blood gets absorbed within a short duration of time. Unless the lump remains for more than 2 weeks without changing in shape, you have nothing to worry about
Best wishes
