Have Deep Purple Colored Bruise On Left Leg On The, No Pain. Should I Be Concerned?
I have a bruise on my left leg on the back side, right underneath my knee where my leg bends on the outer left side, it is a very deep purple and has no pain associated with it, it is recurring though and the size is not always the same but always the same color. My calf only on my left side as well is sore like I have been working out. I have no bruises or soreness in my right leg...should I be seen for this?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
A spontaneous appearing bruise without any history of injury to the area with an intermittent pain can be due to a platelet disorder or a deep vein thrombosis. You need to get it examined by your physician for proper treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
