What Causes A Straight Line Bruise On The Upper Leg?
I got a straight line bruise on my upper leg on the inside right about where my tendon runs. I have also gotten a similar loom bruise on my ankle a week ago. I have been having tight tendons as well and was wondering if the bruise where a sign of something worse.
There is skin bruise on calf, and there is hematoma near ankle.
If swelling is there, you need to take rest and use splint or compressive crepe bandage to reduce swelling.
On ankle you can apply thrombhophobe ointment. Watch for increase in redness, infection. Take precaution to avoid infection around hematoma.
If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
