How To Treat Bruise Caused By Flu On Left Side Below Ribs?
I had the flu recently. A few days before my side started hurting. Nothing major. After the flu I noticed a half dollar size bruise on my left side below ribs above hip bone. The bruise seemed like it is getting worse with dark purple spots on it now. I don't remember hitting anything

Hi,
It may be ecchymosis..It may be due to viral fever you had or unknown trauma. It may be post traumatic purpura. You may consult dermatologist.Do not worry. Gradually it may be vanished. To enhance the improvement, apply thrombophob oint. Take vitamin C and K for few weeks. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
