Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion it is not caused by smoking. As smoking does not cause external skin damage. It causes internal body damage.
So the lesion is something else. May be some minor trauma caused this bruise.
So better to get done dressing.
And ask your friend to quit smoking and drinking alcohol.
It is not a good for health.
