If you didn't bump it , might be a blood clot?

]

If you didn't hit it I would see if one of your friends would look and
see if it looks like a bruise.

But going to doctor or something would be a sure answer.

there is no swelling and it is not warm to touch.

You could have bumped into something without realizing it... I do that all the time. I find mysterious bruises often. If it isn't painful, there's no hard lump, it's not warm to the touch, and it doesn't get darker or bigger, it's probably nothing to worry about.

it hurts when i push it. thanks for being reassuring.my first impulse was to go to go to the emergency room. I take a blood thinner.

tomorrow I am going to call and see if i can get an earlier appt with my doctor to see about plavix and my itchiness. I see him on the 31. I don't know if i should take it.
I am so confused. there is no swelling. I also took some vitamin k2 and now i want to stop
