Hi has anyone ever developed a bruise (that doesnt seem to be painfull) underneath their belly..like a dark patch? Did it lead to anything? I happen to be anemic and have IBS and also noticed I've been putting on weight mainly around my belly area, tend to get bloated and constipated.I'm not sure if anemia and especially IBS would cause bruising though? Any ideas?

Also if anyone here gains weight around just their belly area does there bladder always seem to look like its a bit full or soemthing to..sometimes sticks out to more then other days even though you dont feel like you need to go to the loo? Hope you get what I mean..it used to be fairly flat down there but doesnt seem to be anymore and getting more of a belly and this weird little patch appears sometimes.

Sorry for the lateness of reply. It happens with weigh gain i also have several patches that are Acanthosis nigricans. You should check that out.
