What Does Bruising Near The Collarbone Indicate?
Hello, I am a nanny and I came home from work and realized that there were two large bruises next to my collarbone one on each side. I also had random bruising pop up on my arm and stomach. I continued on with my day and the two bruises by my collarbone disappeared in the matter of hours..should I be concerned?

Hi,
The bruises you have near your collar bones & arms... disappearing on their own in few hours... seem to be due to allergic reaction. May be to some food you had.../ mosquito bite.
Please try to correlate the cause in case it recurs/get allergy screening test done if it increases can take allergy pill over the counter (Cetrizine) for relief & consult family physician for aggravated symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
