A member asked:

Strange bruise that covers my entire elbow. this has happened twice in 4 months. i didn't bump it or hit it on anything.

See primary provider: Start with your primary provider. If it is a bruise (discoloration from bleeding), blood tests can determine if you have a bleeding problem or blood disease. If so, a hematologist may help. If there is a rash or skin problem, a dermatologist may be able to help.
