Very painful gray-black mark on forearm?!
Question: Very painful gray-black mark on forearm.?
I was carrying a pile of logs on my bare forearms, and initially did not feel any pain. When I let the logs down I saw a roughly nickel sized mark on my arm. Initially, it just looked like a dirt spot, but after running it under water and scrubbing with a cloth, the mark hasn't gone. also, it is very sensitive and stings to touch or even move. I have no idea what it could be.Health Question & Answer

I wonder if something could have bitten you - watch for redness or swelling. Maybe the mark was just from the log's markings. Maybe something was on the log - Poison oak, etc.?Health Question & Answer
Any break in the skin.? Could be dirt that got in there. If there's no break in the skin, then it just sounds like a funky bruise really.
