What Could Be The Reason For Having An Unexplained Round Bruise On My Forearm?

I have an unexplained round bruise on the top right side my right forearm. I didn’t notice it but my wife did. Its a couple inches round with and elevated center. The center in much lighter than the rest of the spot and has gotten a little tender on the second day. It does look like a bruise but I don’t remember hitting my arm on anything. I have people telling me it was anything from a spider bite to a blood clot. I m hoping it just a bruise and that s it, but I just do not remember hitting my arm on anything.

Hi,

It is possible that you may have ecchymosis without any cause. Do not worry,it may disappear within a few weeks. However,you may apply thrombophob oint. Take vitamin C and K tablets for long time.

Hope this helps.
