Mystery round bullseye bruise type thing?? (Photo)

Hi all

I have developed this strange bruise today. It's really weird! (It's at the top of my thigh) I haven't knocked myself atall. I know a bullseye type rash is bad (?) I've never had a bruise like this before!

I should add there's something in the middle but not sure what that is!

Any thoughts would be brilliant!

Thanks

It’s just a bruise. And an older one at that. Not a rash, nothing to worried about :)

Looks like something has bitten you.

I get those a lot as I'm getting rather clumsy and keep walking into corners of things like chests of drawers or tables - because I have so much extra fat at the top of my legs I rarely feel the blow so never know I've done it until the bruise comes out.

Interesting!

Sorry I've added another picture that DH took as it's more red in real life. I think I'm concerned I've been bitten but I'm not sure!

Thank you for taking the time to reply and reassure me :)

I get those when I bump against the corner of drawers / tables.

Thats an ordinary bruise that’s healing from the inside out. I’ve had loads of them.

Tbh I'd go to the pharmacy & ask to see the pharmacist. If you look up bulls eye bruise there are a lot of images like yours associated with bites.
