MRI shows degenerative disc disease and a compound fracture from a fall. Have a small scab constantly and now a 3 inch long bruise in the same spot. The bruise is not from my scratching it although it is very itchy. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there!
Well, it would be difficult to comment on the situation without knowing the relevant clinical details such as the type, location and severity of the injury etc. A bruise is likely to heal itself in a few days, while a clinical evaluation by a doctor would be required to rule out other injuries and for appropriate management. I would suggest consulting an orthopedician for the same.
Hope this helps.
