Is it a Bruise

by MizPpleez, Apr 20, 2008 11:32AM
While showering I noticed a knot (linear), about the size of a walnut (a long walnut). It is not painful. Upon sight inspection....it's deep purplish/black black much like a bruise would be. I've been under the weather lately and have not been very active. I'm concerned with the size, color and development of this thing.  Any ideas? Is it possible for a bruise so large, so deeply purplish/black to be completely painless.

History- Arterio-Venous Malformation (with gamma knife radiosurgery in 1999), stage one hypertension, hypoglycemia, and within the last two months onset of severe asthma and  idiopathic widespread hives.
Medications- Zantac, Xyzal, Symbicort and Albuterol Inhaler.
