Round Bruise Recurring In Same Location

About a month ago I had a bruse appear on my left leg to the left side of my knee , the area felt like there was a knot...the bruse healed after about a week, however now the same thing is back again in the same area. I have also been experiencing more hair loss then normal, when I brush my hair there is a lot more then usual that comes out. Could either of these be due to a medical issue?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
You could be experiencing reaction to a certain drug or collagen vascular disease. Do you have joint pains. The hairfall can be due to many reasons like stress, autoimmune factors, vitamin deficiency. It is better to consult a Dermatologist who will examine you thoroughly and decide management of your condition. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. Drink plenty of water.
