Suggest Treatment For Bruise On Thigh From Injury
I have a major skin contusion on the inside of my left thigh from a baseball off the bat hit. I m an umpire and was hit when behind the plate. This is not a muscle bruise but a flesh bruise from a high speed flash hit. I had on compression shorts which kept things together. I iced it when I got home. 2 days later, I have aprox. an 8inx8in black and blue area. At this time more purple. What s the risk or further treatment. Looks terrible but there is no pain. I m 62 in good health

Hello,
You are suffering from a bruise on thigh from injury. The bruise is purple in color but you don't have any pain. Your symptom is indicative of bruise on your skin penetrating to the flesh, caused by high impact trauma. Trauma has caused small spots of blood clots to form in the thin capillaries causing the wound to look ugly and bluish-purple.
You are suggested to apply Ointment Thrombophob (Benzyl Nicotinate (2mg) + Heparin (50IU) to disperse the clots if any and normalize the skin color and tone. Apply a thick layer over the wound. In a few days, the wound should get better. In case it is resistant, you are suggested to get clinically examined by a dermatologist and get treated.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
