Hi, my wife gave my cheek a friendly squeeze, and now i seem to have what appears to be a large patch of blood forming like a bruise, but growing, .?

Love Hickey!: Just be happy she loves you! perhaps you take Aspirin on a regular basis, or like me, do crossfit and have to take nsaids just to function! it is just a bruise. If none of these scenarios fit and the bruise continues to grow, or you get more, then you should probably see your internist and get a complete blood count to make sure everything is as it should be.
