What Causes Sudden Bruises On Either Sides Of The Lower Back?
I woke up a couple days ago, I noticed a bruise on each side of the lower back. The bruises were red but is now clearing/fading back to the original skin color. Please advise me as to what I should do, in addition to what this could be. Thank you, I look forward to hearing back from you.
It might be due to minor trauma or prolonged sleeping on a hard surface. Generally it will settle by itself without any concerns. If lesion persists better to consult a physician and get evaluated. In that cases conditions like bleeding disorders must be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
