A member asked:

I have a bruise with a red raised circle at one end of the bruise and it itches. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bruise w/red circle: If the bruise is recent, it may itch. Some areas of the bruise may be more red or raised than others depending on the impact of the trauma. A typical bruise will start resolving in a couple of days, turning from purple to green to yellow then gone all together. If the redness persists or the bruise has not started to go away in a couple of days, please see your doctor.
