What Does Red Dot On Forearm With Severe Bruising Indicate?

I had a small red dot (unbroken skin) on my forearm surrounded by a white ring, and outside that ring was a SEVERE bruise about 3 inches long and 2 wide. Two days after I noticed the bruise, I got violently ill -- nausea and vomiting, headache and the feeling that my body was violently vibrating internally. I could not rest and felt almost like I was delirious. I was on the verge of calling 911, but thought I should tough it out. I was still a bit sick the next day but was better by the second night. The bruise, white circle and red dot lasted another ten days. I do not remember injuring myself or being bitten.

Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Bruises on body can occur due to low platelets or disorder of coagulation factors. I suggest you to consult a hematologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations like complete blood count, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). The probable cause of bruises on body can be determined by these investigations.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
