Large Bruise Above Elbow, Bruise With White Center, Pain On Touching. Treatment?
Hi, I have a large bruise above my elbow that has a white center. There is not indication that it is a bite of any kind, i notice it on Tuesday night, and it was just a large firm spot with no bruise, now there is a bruise with a white center and it is painful to touch, and the first spot comes and goes, one minute it is there, within the next hour it is not. What could this possibly be?

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Youmay have severe injury with appearance of bone which is called as open fracture.
You should consult with orthopedician and go for x ray urgently.
Treatment of fracture with closer may be required.
If all things are normal then you should take bed rest with analgesic ointment locally.
Get well soon,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
