What Does A Blue Colored Bruise On The Stomach Indicate?
Earlier today I noticed a blueish bruise-looking spot on my upper stomach area about an inch and a half long by maybe 3/4 of an inch tall which just appeared. It is not painful, but I can feel a little bit of firmness under the skin there. To my knowledge I haven t injured that area or poked it at all. I am taking Plavix. Should I go to the emergency room or can I wait until tomorrow to go to the walk-in clinic?

Hello,
It can be hemorrhagic mark. Apply cold compression and Thrombophob ointment. It will be slowly absorbed and will become normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
