What Does Sudden Bruising On Arm Indicate?
About a month ago I noticed an unexplained bruise on my arm the size of a pea, then later realized there was a lump under the bruise as well maybe slightly smaller than a pea, however the bruise went away and I forgot about it for a week and then again I noticed the bruise with the lump. Any ideas?

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Bruising without any trauma could indicate a bleeding disorder.
Please get your blood checked for platelet count, bleeding time, clotting time and prothrombin time. If these are normal, then there is nothing to worry.
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
