What Is The Bruise On The Area Above A Possible Muscle Pull?
Yesterday i was doing a aerobic workout that involved alot of twisting and lunging. At one point i felt something on my right side near the pelvic bone area like a pull of some sort. A while later when i checked that area for a bruise, i noticed a pimply rash directly above the area where i pulled/strained a muscle. Today, the rash still appears inflamed. Should i be concerned, and could the rash be a result of a muscle pull

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms seem to be related to a pulled muscle.
I suggest using anti inflammatory medications such as Acetaminophen to relieve the pain.
I also suggest using a mild steroid cream for local application such as Calamine lotion.
Cold compresses can also be helpful.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
