Hello,

I can understand your concern for the bruise on the back side of your calf. After analyzing the query I can make out that you have the bruise which started insidiously.
In case if you are not on any medications or not post middle aged then you need tot t be worried about anything. In case if you are on any medications or post middle aged then you require to go for bleeding and clotting time along with platelet time. For the time being period I suggest you to apply a calamine based lotion and take an anti-histamine such benadryl for one to two times.
All teh best.
