Hello. Have this dime sized yellow bruise like mark at the upper left chest area. It's not painful to touch, but curious cause has never been there before. Noticed it this morning. Any advice would be greatly appreciated?
I've noticed over the past couple months that when I get a bruise, it starts out yellow, then goes green, blue-black, black-red, then reverses that order back to yellow. My bruises never used to do that. Is it anything I need to be concerned about?
