Suggest Treatment For Bruise On The Elbow
I seem to have repeated the same bruising or round circular discoloration on my elbow ( brownish red color) that was there a month or so ago. I am not in pain , only when leaning or pushing on certain spots on the elbow. I was certain I hit it and it just needed time to heal like any bruise does. But this morning I noticed the circular discoloration was back ( not as large) but this time, I was certain I hadn t injured it. Any suggestions ?? 57, female, non-smoker, treated for hypertension for over 20 years! Some physical Activity.

Hello,
Elbow is prone to get hit with table and walls sometimes which we don't notice until a bruise appears, but if you are certain about not hitting your elbow somewhere and you have the same bruise anywhere on your body then I suggest you go for a CBC and coagulogram to rule out any medical condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
