Hi,

The bruise on your stomach could be related to local injury. As you live alone, you cannot remember if you have woken up at night and maybe hit to something.

Unless, you are using any medication (blood thinner for example) that can increase chances for bruising/bleeding.

If you are not having any pain, or other symptoms, then, the bruising will be gone within few days.

I suggest to apply cold compresses for a couple of days (today and tomorrow); if the bruising is still there, can apply heparin cream clear it up.

All the best!
