It takes a while to fade away he says and apparently it doesn't hurt because you don't hurt any tissue like you do when you bump into something. So thankfully no tick bite or Lyme. But thanks for all your replies, I appreciate it!
That's great news! Thank you for letting us know! It makes sense that a bug bite on a vein, etc, would cause a bruise like that.
Thanks for this!
