What Causes A Sudden Bruise On The Left Calf Long After A Foot Injury?

Woke up with a big bruise on my calf about the size of a baseball..Its on my left side and already have issues with a foot injury a long time ago..I have had unexplained bruises before but not this big..Recently I ve been also battling a serious infection in my mouth from an injury a few years back , which dentists have said it s possibly a cyst..Is one of these a contributing factor or both?? I tend to drink a few beers I would say couple times a week..Im a 35 yr old man with most of the time pretty healthy , wasnt till recently the bruising is occurring more often..Plan on going to family doctor byt if it s more serious than i thought will go to the e.r.. Please any input would greatly be appreciated..Thank you for helping me and others with issues..Have a blessed day..

Hello,

It is just a collection of blood underneath the skin.

Nothing much to worry and the symptoms will settle in a couple of days.

As of now, you can try ice packs for faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
