I've noticed this red and purple bruise under my belly on the right side, and I'm stumped about how it got there. Should I be worried about this? Is there something in particular that could cause a bruise to appear without injury?

The symptoms you are describing could be due to a minor trauma or injury that you may not remember. To help with the bruising and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, you can apply a cold compress to the area to reduce swelling and pain. If the bruise does not improve or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
