A member asked:
I scratched my right thigh intensely with my nails and it brought a bruise lookalike but indicating where i scratched. can you help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If you scratched: intenesly - this likely is a bruise and not a bruise look alike. I would try to leave it along and just allow the blood from the bruise to be resorbed naturally by the body.
