How To Treat Recurring Bruise On Calf Below The Knee?
I have a large bruise on my left calf right below the knee, towards the outside of my leg. It s keeps recurring in the same spot. I don t recall of any type of injury in that location. It s not always tender, at first I didnt even notice it. It gets about 4in around, and very dark in color. I m a work at a restaurant so I m always on my feet, and a mother of 2 kids. So I m on my feet around 80hrs a week just at work, I m getting worried it might be something wrong..any suggestions?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having varicose vein due to nature of work i.e. long standing through out the day.
This might cause improper circulation and vascular insufficiency leading to rupturing small capillaries producing this type of problem.
consult your doctor and get examined.
Meanwhile wear leg strokings till morning to evening.
Raise your legs while taking rest.
Ok and take care.
