White bite surrounded by bruising, what is this?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
I don't know.: However, bites by some spiders can leave central white ulcerated tissue ; there may be some bruising in the periphery. There may be other causes though.

Venomous: bites can cause bruising and inability to clot. You must be examined, treated and have your blood counts and bleeding ( coagulation) tests performed.
