What does it mean when a straight line appears across my bruise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The only way to know what the straight line across your bruise represents is for a doctor to see it. It could be part of the healing process or it could be abnormal, depending on what it looks like. If the pain is increasing, the area is getting more red, warm to touch or you see pus, then you should see a doctor ASAP. Good luck to you!
