A member asked:

I have had 3 light purple indents on my stomach surrounding my belly button for a few months. started as indents but slowly turned purple. stings occasionally in the big indent. any idea of what this could be? i can't find anything on google!

Contusion: Tight string around the area can cause bruising in the skin which can start purple and gradually turn yellow in color before fading off .l
