What Causes A Persistent Bruise On Upper Thigh?
I have a bruise on my upper thigh that I have had for about 5 months now and it will not go away it is still the same size as it was when I got it, it doesn't hurt, and it is a dark brownish color. I take iron supplements already could there be something else going on?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Bruises won't be present for this long, unless you are looking at recurrent bleeding. If recurrent, you would probably have seen at other places.
2. Possible hemangioma, meet a vascular specialist.
3. Also check for bleeding time, PT, APTT also to rule out any coagulation disorders.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
