A member asked:

I have a painless bruise radiating around a big bite.the bruise seems to be slowly spreading, but is not at all tender or swollen. cause for concern?

No concern: The bruise is likely dissipating. If there is no redness or tenderness, then there no need for concern at this time. Over the counter Arnicare can help with the discoloration.
