A member asked:

Woke up bruise on the inside of my right arm under elbow . why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleeding.: Bruises result from bleeding under the skin. This generally happens due to an unrecognized trauma since many bruises don't become apparent for a few days after the incident. Unless you have progressive bleeding or bruising with very minor trauma there is very little to be concerned about.
