Heart problems. A hard purple lump appeared on my forearm. A blood clot?

I had heart bypass 2 years ago. I want to know what a blood clot looks like?

Call the E.R. and speak to a nurse pronto!
Reply:This sounds like a bruise (Hematoma). A bruise is caused when a blood vessle leaks and blood is traped under the skin. The blood will start to be absorbed by the body in a few days and the bruise will slowly fade.





Blood vessles leak usually because of trama. Such as a blow that crushes it or from a needle puncture.
