I’ve woken up to my right buttock being absolutely black and blue

[Soubriquet]

And I don’t know why?!

I did no activities last night. I haven’t fallen out of bed. I didn’t fall over at all yesterday. It’s just randomly bruised and it’s bloody sore

This is my butt. It has gotten blacker in some areas but this was taken first thing this morning

Do you live alone?

I'd go to a Walk In if I were you. Unexplained bruising isn't a good thing.

No but I’m 100% positive that no one in my family did it

That’s very strange, u sure u haven’t got a poltergeist 😂

I hope not!! It’s a brand new build house!!

I once woke up to a deep, dark bruise on my hip. No trauma, nothing to explain it
I ended up seeing the gp as it was there for over a week but he just dismissed it as nothing. It faded as suddenly as it appeared 😵‍💫

Could you have fallen and blacked out?
Were you sober last night, no chance you've falled under the influence and not remember?

I think I'd take the advice above and seek medical help.

Spider bite?

Nope. And I don’t drink. Haven’t in 9 years

You haven't fallen or bumped yourself even 2/3 days ago or a table or chair or something?

I think you should call NHS Direct for advice

call 111. Does it hurt?

Are you alive? Might be livor mortis?

Ack. You got it!! I’m dead.

no I haven’t fallen over the last few days. And yes it hurts. It’s really sore

An MPB maybe? I regularly suffered from them in my 20s (mystery party bruise).

You do need to see your gp to rule out the more serious illnesses than can cause unexplained brusing.

It looks purple brown with yellow around the edges in the photo. That would suggest the blood has lost oxygen and is starting to break down so it’s not fresh. Maybe 2-5 days old? Possibly even longer? Did you bash yourself earlier in the week?

Have you been itchy?
I only ask because I occasionally get really random itches on my bum or thighs, give them a really good scratch and the next day I am very heavily bruised, very like your photo.

If it hurts then that indicates it's from an injury. Spontaneous bruising wouldn't hurt I don't think.

Are you sure you haven't bumped into something? Nobody's clunked you one? Do you take any sleeping medication? Do you have a partner, could they have kicked you in their sleep?

Do you snore? Could this be the result of a partner nudging you to sleep in a different position?

Could you have fallen out of bed and got back in all in your sleep?

I was just about to say the same, it's not fresh so think back beyond yesterday. I think it's normal to shake off a knock then bruise later. My friend banged her leg on the stair-gate, it was a 'fuck' then we had coffee 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3 days later the entire top of her leg was black!

I think you may have slept on a pea. Check under the bottom of the mattresses 😉

I sleep alone. Dh gets handsy(sexually. He has sexsomnia)whilst asleep so we have to sleep alone.

it definitely wasn’t there yesterday. I have woken up to it. Yes I take sleeping medication but no I didn’t fall over or bang it on anything

I once gave myself horrific bruises all down my thighs from hula hooping (badly!) with a cheap weighted hulahoop I didn't notice them for days!
