Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a HUGE black bruise on my right buttocks that is progressing down my leg. I sat down on a wooden arm of a chair last thurs. then the bruising started this past Monday. it is sore to the touch & getting blacker every day. Today I noticed there is behind my right knee. I have never had bruising this badly before. could there be some other problem to make this so bad?
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you got large hematoma at your right buttocks to leg . Hematoma gradually resolved by itself .Thrombophob gel local application three times a day over it(no rubbing) can help in resolving it. Subcutaneous hematoma gets color changes in there natural course of their evolution and may take longer time. But real worry is why it occurred by only your sitting on wooden chair.You need to check your bleeding time and clotting time and got yourself investigated for bleeding disorders.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. 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.
