Can't know: With the information given, hard to know what this could be (infection? node? other skin lesion?). A physician will need to see it and ask a few questions about your medical history before suggesting possible causes or further testing that will be needed.

Question 8

my daughter has a bruise on her chest. was green yesterday and now more red/purple. there is a tiny lump in the center where it is not bruised. bad?

Accepted Answer

Can still be normal.: What you've described is a normal  process of a bruise.  If the lump in the center has fluid inside and is increasing in size then she must see a doctor to evaluate this lump.  I need to see a picture of it in order to definitely say it's just a bruise and not to worry.  It's best to monitor for change in size and the amount of discomfort/ pain.
