Should I Consult The Doctor For The Indentation On The Arm With Large Bruise?

I fell off my skateboard and hit my right forearm on the edge of the sidewalk. I don t have any pain right now but there is a large bruise and the part that was hit is slightly indented. Should this be something to worry about or will it go away on it s own?

Hi you have a bruise on your right forearm after a fall but no pain. You are worried about one indentation over the bruise. In my opinion , any swelling can have indentation so you need to keep a watch on it . Do cold compresses regularly.
