Question : I have a light purple bruise on inner thigh formed by an ablation. There is a pink dot the size of a pencil eraser and is the only spot that is sore. The ablation is 16 days old. Anything to worry about?

Detailed answer.....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
It is good that your bruise is getting healed . As far as a dark pink spot is concerned,I think it could have been the place where ablation might have been maximum.
I don't think there is anything to worry regarding that,however it would be good if you could send me a photograph so that I am in a better position to comment.
I hope it helps.
Best of luck
Thanks
