Waking Up With Large Purplish Bruise On Right Hip Resembling Pattern Of Clothing. But Clothing White. Recommendations?

My husband woke up with a very large bruise on his right hip. It is purpleish, but pretty large squareish area, one part has the same pattern as the elastic band on his pajamas. It isn't dye, they're white. But the bruise has that pattern like blood pooled there? It was very sore the first day, pain has subsided but bruise still there. He didn't hurt himself, just woke up with it. Any ideas re the cause?

Hello,
Although generally trauma is the cause for such types of bruises but there can be various other causes for such types of bruise like..
If you are on aspirin
If our are taking blood thinners like warfarin
If you are taking regular anti nflammatory drugs
If you are taking herbal preparations or products like ginkgo etc.
If there is some deficiency of clotting factors or some bleeding disorder.
The best would be to consult a doctor and get your husband investigated and examined.
Thanks
