I had a bruise on my arm a couple weeks ago. It was a nasty one. The bruise is healing and almost gone but when I touched the area today, I felt a knotunder the bruised area. It is very hard and is about the size of a pencil eraser. It is not painful. Should I be concerned?
Do not worry. The nodule underneath the bruised patch might be a hematoma (blood clot). It may disappear in a few days.
If you have any doubt, you may consult the dermatologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
