What Does A Bruise On Inside The Elbow Indicate?
I have what looks like a bruise on the inside of my elbow. Its a little bigger than a toonie. In the centre of this bruise is a light blue colour. As the day goes on the bruise gets a little darker so you see the blue a lot more. What could this be.

Hi!
Welcome to Healthcaremagic. com.
I have read your query in detail and do understand your concern.
This bruise could have appeared by some trauma you cant remember.
It could be due to some insect bite.
Sometimes these could be side effects of certain medications like, topical steroids which thin out the skin.
Bruise may naturally get darker and browner before resolution which may take upto 2 weeks.
vitamin c supplements may help .
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
