Be seen: An expanding bruise is an expanding bleed under the skin. If your liver is not working properly to make blood coagulation proteins, it could be a sign of a more serious problem. You should see your doctor.

See doctor: A growing lesion on the skin may represent a skin lesion. Sometimes they can look like a bruise and be confused with one. Have it looked at soon.
