Suggest Treatment For Bruise On The Thighs Which Itch And Pain

I have a bruise, or what looks like a bruise in a circular pattern on the back of my thigh. It does not hurt or itch, but it s brown with white in the center. I do have more bruises on my legs because I tend to bump into things at odd angles, but this bruise does not hurt, I just noticed it today. Should I worry about it or is it just a bruise I haven t notice pd that s mostly healed?

Hi,

You seem to have ecchymotic patches on thighs. It may be idiopathic or due to some cause. Cause may be internal diseases like blood diseases.. Or external causes like pressure,rubbing,senile.. The itching may be there due to dryness or some irritation or allergy.You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.
Investigations may be done to rule out internal diseases. Vitamin C and K, antihistaminics and treatment of underlying cause may be considered. Thrombophob oint. Application might improve the condition. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
