How To Treat Leg Bruising?
I have strange blackish bruises on my legs that appear every now and then, they re big but are not painful to touch. They are kind of hard to see but if you look closely you can see them very well, so they re not dark black, but still they re black, do you understand?

Hello,
These are nothing but blood collection underneath the skin.
Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself.
You can apply ice packs for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
