What Could A Bruise From The Hip To The Navel Indicate?

Age 62 health is great. Take no medications except something for heartburn. I woke up two days ago and right bellow my belly button all the way around my left hip there is a 4ich wide bruise. I have not hit it. I went to bed and woke up and there it was.

Hi,

It may be senile ecchymosis most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply Thrombophob Ointment on the patch. Take high doses of vitamin C tablets for few weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
