Q: i got punched accidentally on my arm and its over 7 days its still purple coloured and have a bump inside should i be worried?

: It is likely that you have retained blood within tissues around the focal point of the injury. These can knot and sometimes attract calcium and form a bump that can last months. A warm compress over the area can improve blood flow and speed healing. If you do nothing it will fade and return to a normal appearance within a few weeks.
