A member asked:

I am easy to bruise , can a knot appear under skin with a bruise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: When someone bruises it forms a clot. Some clots are bigger, depending on the vessel and sometimes the depth and sometimes can calcify and it can be felt as a knot or nodule. If the hematoma is roundish, it can also be felt as a knot.
