What Causes Bruise On Leg And Ankle?
I have a huge bruise on my leg from a bang a week ago but I have also got what looks like a large bruise on my ankle but I didn t injure this area and it s not sore so thought this might just be a burst blood vessel as I have been walking a lot and sitting in the sun- due to fly home on a 10 hr flight tomorrow, I d this likely to be an issue?

Hello,
Bruises are commonly related to an injury. If you have not been injured at the bruised area, I suggest to do a blood test for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I recommend to apply vitamin K cream for fast recovery.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
