Good evening ma'am,

This situation deserves a doctor's attention.

In fact, spontaneous hematomas can be caused by a myriad of conditions, such as anemia or lack of blood platelets. Therefore, a doctor-prescribed blood test should be done to determine the most likely cause of your situation.

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
