Sudden bruising on arm. red, hurts when pressed on it. appeared suddenly. no injury or trauma. help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get a blood test: Sudden bruising without injury should be investigated with a complete blood cell count. This will include a platelet count as well as red blood cells and white blood cells. Start with your primary doctor, for the blood test. He/she may send you to a hematologist if the test indicates and abnormality. Or maybe you just are an aggressive sleeper. Don't ignore it, simple blood test
