Bruise in a straight line appeared on my back. it's horizontal right across the middle of back. do not know where it has came from, no known injury. should i contact gp?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I would consider follow up with GP as across the back is a large area if no know trauma. They may wish to check CBC , kidney status. and possible ultrasound/ CT to insure no internal bleeding
