I have had what looks like a bruise on the outside of my left calf. It doesn t hurt when pressed and has been there for some time. I am on meds for high blood pressure and cholesterol and am overweight otherwise pretty fair health for my almost 71 years. Thank you for any suggestions. PS: I see a RNNP as a health provider.
