Is A Large And Sore Lump Under The Skin Due To Bleeding Beneath The Skin?
Yes I am on blood thinners. I just banged my arm on furniture and I have a blood spot under the skin about 1/2” round, but more importantly under that I have large lump about 4” oval spot that is hard and sore
Could I be bleeding under the skin and should I worry ?

Hi,
It is the subcutaneous hematoma formation from the torn internal capillary.
Primary relief with ice application, stoppage of further doses of blood thinner and physician assistants is mandatory.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
