Hi,
It is my pleasure to help you,
Bruises develop when small blood vessels under the skin tear or rupture, most often following a injury.A bruise on a leg usually will take longer to heal.
Most bruises are not a cause for concern and will go away on their own
If you bruise easily, you may not even remember what caused a bruise.
Bruising easily does not mean you have a serious health problem, especially if bruising is minimal or only shows up once in a while.
It will heal up in couple of weeks.
Hope i have cleared your doubts.Feel free to post the queries.
Thank you.
