How Long Do Bruises On The Back Post An Injury Take To Heal?
In early September & again in late September I fell. The first fall I hit & bruised the back, upper part of my left arm. The second fall I hit my right calf on the inside resulting in another bruise. I don t bruise easily. The bruises have faded significantly but are still slightly visible & both areas are still tender to the touch. Shouldn t both bruises have completely healed by now?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your case history of bruise on back, my treatment advice is -
1. It takes around 2-3 years to get complete healing.
2. Apply a placentrax gel twice daily on it.
3. Take a vitamin E supplement once daily for 3 months.
If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.
