What Causes Ring Shaped Bruise On The Upper Arm?

Hi, I have a ring shaped bruise located on my upper arm. And I m not sure how it got there. I am 19 with stage two hypertension (just in case that information is needed) the bruise doesn t really hurt. But I m just worried that it could be more than just a bruise. However it doesn t look like bite marks are present.

Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
It is difficult to comment on it without examination, so I would either suggest you to see doctor for examination and for exact diagnosis or upload the pictures here, I'll go through them, and provide you with specific advice.
This might be due to blunt trauy, some hematoma might have formed but needs an examination to confirm
Hope this helps.
Take care
