How To Cure Bruise Caused Due To An Injury?

Hi, i slipped down some stairs at a party but i dont think thats it. I have like a huge patch of purple-ish skin, like bruises i guess, and the skins its like dry and scartchy. They are on my inner thigh both legs and butt both sides. Whats wrong? Is it because its really cold out?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Bruises are common after a fall. This purplish patch of bruise will subside gradually, dont worry. If u are not having any pain and swelling and able to walk then fracture is ruled out. Take tab taxim o 200mg 1-0-1 for 5 days after food, tab tolpa D 1-0-1 after food for 5 days. Apply povidone iodine ointment on these bruises and give them time to heal. If u have sever pain and swelling and difficulty in walking u have to consult a orthopedician. Regards
