Suggest Cure For Bruise In The Leg

Hi, I was at work a few weeks back and as I went to pick up a crate of bottles I didn t see the wooden platform the were on, it bruised quite a bit and I had a lump there for a couple of weeks. It also hurt a lot and still hurts as I put pressure on it. Also I knocked it the other day, only a slight tap and it bruised and became painful again but the lain hasn t lasted as long this time. I m the sort of person that doesn t bruise easily so I became a little concerned when I saw how quickly and easily it bruised.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Bruising is common after trauma especially in old age and women with excessive subcutaneous fat. Many times it has no reason. But you can always go for a coagulation profile to rule out any bleeding disorder.
