Bruise Like Spot On The Leg. Have Fatty Liver. Could That Be The Reason?
I have a bruise like spot on my lower right leg, it kind of indents a bit, no pain though. I have had it now for a year and a half. I showed it to my doctor and he told me to go to a dermatologist . I am just worried it has something to do with my liver? I have a fatty liver but have recently quit drinking, about a month now. What do you think?

Hi,
You should first take aggressive treatment for fatty liver. In order to rule out bleeding disorders get a Bleeding time,clotting time and PT and INR done. If these are normal then you need not worry.
