Have Round Bruise With Flesh Colored Center On Arm And Not Tender. Another Is Swollen, Red And Tender. Related?
I have a round bruise with flesh colored center. It is not tender. This is on my arm. I had a tick on the flank area of my back about a month ago-none on my arm that I was aware of. I now have a area of tenderness with a little swelling and small redden area further up the same arm-but not in the same vein line-this tender area is lateral where the round bruise with flesh colored center is much more medial...do you think these two conditions are related? Should I see a doctor?
