Bruise With White Spot In The Center, No Injury. How Can I Get Rid Of It?

I have a what looks like a bruise that had a white spot in the middle. I don t remember hitting that area and I ve had it since early january. I scratched the area and the white spot came off, but I can still barely see a little spot in the center of the bruise that looks almost like a really tiny whole. How can I get rid of that?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

you might be having a low platelet count and hence you are developing these bruises.

Get your platelet levels checked.

Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal,

you can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.

A photograph would have helped me better.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
