What Causes Yellow Bruise On The Arm With Pain?
Hi, A Few days ago I found my upper left arm very painful, very randomly without injuring myself, or even banging my arm. The next day I discovered yellow bruising which has slowly turned into a rather large red/purple mark which looks like blood surfacing to the skin. This has now spread therefore is now a little bigger. This worries me as it has come out of nowhere

Hello,
Your symptoms are suggestive of a hematoma, which could be related to a ruptured artery or local inflammation.
These are the normal stages after the hematoma and I don't think that you should worry about it.
If the problem repeats, I recommend consulting with your attending physician and performing coagulation tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
