How To Get Rid Of Pink Marks On Thighs Due To Heavy Weight Falling On Them?

So about a year ago I lifted a 600 pound cylinder head for an 18 wheeler into the back of my truck. I got it half way and set it on my legs. I have two two inch pink marks on my right inside thigh. And one one inch pink mark on the inside of my left thigh. Are they like stretch marks? Or something else? And is there any way to get rid of them?

Hi,

The sudden fall of heavy load on thigh, must have trauma to the skin and internal tissue leading to internal oozing / bleeding ..which has caused the marks. It will start paining also after pain msome time.You can reduce the suffering by-

- Take rest

- Ice pack.

- Over the counter pain medicine (Ibuprofen)after food.

*In case there is lot of pain,swelling of the part with difficult weight bearing go to an orthopedic surgeon for his expert examination,investigation like X ray (if needed) & specific treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
