Don't want to scare you but that can be a sign of something pretty serious. You don't have any choice about this you MUST go to a doctor.\n\nedit: I didn't want to mention it in case it scared you, but well... a permanent bruise can be one of the first indications of leukaemia so you should see a doctor and get that ruled out just to be on the safe side..

Honey, I would go to the doctor, and don't listen to some of the retarded answers you got from some of these other people. I hope you are okay. Good Luck and Take Care!!

You probably are bruised, but should get better. If you don't feel better in a day or two, you may want to have a doctor check you just to be sure there's no real damage.\n\nIn the future.... well... you know.... he should be a little careful.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

Although this is an uncommon problem, it happens. I suggest you seek psychological help immedialtely if you want this to stop - it is generally unsafe and dangerous, as you are inflicting pain to your self, and to that, you are slowly destroying your body. The bruises (dead blood) is not good for you and all else that is happening. Be honest about this, talk to your mother so she can be with you if you are younger. But if you are on adult age, please seek help because there are specialists who have studied and trained to help people like you. You are not alone. It is very courageous of you to put it all here - you have done a first step - just go on. You can do it. Goodluck to yoU! God Bless!!

See a doctor it wont hurt you.. many things may be going on most of which is not serious. The fact that its bothering you is reason enough to go in for a checkup

Not to be mean. But I don't know how we are suppose to help you when we don't know what it is..You should see your doctor A.S.A.P before it leads to something more serious.

I hope to God you didn't cut it yourself......You should be at the doctors rather than sitting on the Internet......it will take a while to heal that's why you need to get to the docs immediately......and you get dizzy because you are losing your life, that's why!!!!

happend with me, apply some cooling cream over it. Chances are the wound/scar is still trying to heal.

a bruised bone takes a while to heal.  i really don't know anything that will healing up.  but as far as it not coming back, don't do what caused it to bruise in the first place, or find a way that it dosen't cause trauma to the bones.

I think you should go to another doctor in the morning just to ease your mind. It could be a pulled muscle but it could also be to do with your heart. Don't be scared but it is better to be sure than sorry. Never mind the doctor who passed it off, he has nothing to lose....there is only one Gilly so get a second opinion. You seem to take care of yourself so I am sure it is just a strain, or something to do with your workout, but no putting it off Gilly have it sorted tomorrow and then you can forget about it and enjoy the weekend. You will be alright. God bless x.

Firstly, I am NOT a doctor --\n\nBased on what I have read, though, I would definitely (and immediately) see a doctor, because there is always a possibility of this being a sign of a larger problem.\n\nGet to feeling better! :)

Hi, \nFirstly, you really should not expect people on here to be able to  diagnose for you. I think you know yourself that if it's still going it's serious and you should DEFINITELY get round to that doctor straight away. Our health is precious and we should look after it. I think you will get other answers advising likewise. PLEASE see your doc.

I would suggest she goes to the doctor-it sounds just like the pain I'm having and my ankle is fractured.And it can mess with your circulation  which can cause the dry skin.Have her go-like NOW.

I think that you're only real option right now is to go see a doctor. They're trained and you may be scared of surgery but it's either going to the doctor and hearing what they have to say or having to live with that pain untill you get up the guts to go to the doctors. No matter what you're going to see a doctor about it sooner or later so get it over with and put the injury behind you.

Nothing to worry about-its happened to me a few time.You probably did bruise/scratch yourself at work.Put some neosporin on it and unless it gets infected just forget about it.
