What Is The Reason For Purple Rash On Upper Stomach Area?

dark purple bruise (irregular in shape--roundish) appeared upper stomach area between lungs--found this morning at 8:30am. Have no memory of bruising this area. Hurts slightly if touched. Feel kind of hard under surface. Is now fading (it's close to 2pm).

Hi,

It could be related to some unnoticed trauma. If it recurs go for certain tests like complete blood count and coagulation profile.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
