What Causes Bruising On The Left Side Of Ribcage?
my stepmom is an alcholic, she has a bruising on the left side of ribcage area and below that. doesn't mention that it hurts, been there a while now. i'm concerned it being a tumor. she does not have good bowel movements either. the bruises have been there about 6 months or more. could this be internal bleeding?

hello,
I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Basically you must investigate her for Alcoholic liver disease,as it may be the cause of her frequent bruising,
My best wishes
