Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I seem to have a recurring bruise on my lower left abdomen. It just appears out of no where an last for very long an then bam its gone an as fast as it was gone it comes back. Starting to get worried their black/dark purple in color an get as big as a sliver dollar
Hello! I had gone through your query and understand your concern. Bruising that occurs without any trauma to the skin is called spontaneous bruising and it can occur for many reasons. A spontaneous bruise, also known as an easy bruise, is one that occurs on its own and the person has no recollection of what caused the bruise.
Spontaneous bruise irrespective of location without trauma needs a little workup: -Hematological profile that include PT,APTT,INR. -Complete blood count especially Platelets level.
I suggest to consult a physician to examine the bruise and get this tests done in order to sort out the right cause.
Hope It helped. Take care. Dr.Rovena
