What Is The Reddish Pink Bruise On My 6 Years Old S Arm?

My son is 6 years old and on warfarin for a single vertircle repaired post Fontan heart leasion. We noticed a bruise on his arm 2 days ago. It is getting bigger, reddish pink on the outside ring and white in the middle. It is also raised in the middle. Trying to figure out if it is a bite or he just wacked his arm weird at school. Any advice?
