What Causes Purple Bruising Around My Waist All Of A Sudden?
I woke up this morning with purple bruising all the way around my waist, about the size of an ace bandage all the way around. It just appeared; I haven't bumped into anything recently and have not worn any constricting clothing that would have caused it. I had intense stomach pain a while ago when I ate, but it's dulling now. Do you have any idea what it could be? Should I go get it checked out? Help please.

HI
Sudden unexplained bruising needs immediate evaluation
This could be a liver problem or a low platelet problem and you need an exam and blood work to further evaluate the problem
