Bruise or hematoma: Its possible that blood is under skin and its called hematoma or bruise . Most of them do not need treatment and usually fade and disappear within two weeks.

Need to examine: It may be a blood clot under the skin or a pigmented lesion. If it is a blood clot, it will go away in a few days. If it is still there in a month, it would be prudent to have a doctor look at it. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
