Suggest Treatment For A Bruise And Lump On The Arm
Husband has a rather large lump that has come up right at his elbow in the last week or so. It seems soft to the touch and he says it is not painful. He also has an unexplained red and purple bruise on the same arm. He does not recall bumping it at all. He also has another spot on the front of that arm about a dime in size that has recently appeared. Should we contact his doctor about this?
