What Could Be The Dark Bruises On Each Side?
I have 2 dark bruises, one on each side. The larger measures 7 cm across. On the transverse axis, they are on a horizontal plane even with the umbilicus. They are each in the same location but on opposite sides of the torso. To the best of my recollection, there has been no external trauma. Thank you, Ron

3.take analgesics like ibuprofen tablets twice daily for 7 days,if you have pain.
4.elevate the bruised area using pillows while sleeping.
