Im 20, 6 foot and in good shape; I rarely ever bruise. A week ago I woke randomly with 2 huge bruises on my thigh. I ignored it and continued on with my day. Checked it time and time again and felt no pain but it started to look worse with a yellowish huge shape with very light purple dots. Its been a week now and its still huge and has no feel to it. Have any ideas what it could be?
Hello. Thankyou for contacting Chat Doctor. Bruises on thigh usually are not a serious issue as one may get bruised on bumping with something during routine work sometime. The description you are giving is the normal course of a bruise before disappearing. Bruise usually takes 3 weeks to disappear, in which it turns from red to blue and then to golden yellow finally blending with the surrounding skin. Please contact your local hospital if the bruise becomes painful, starts spreading or any swelling appears around the bruise. Otherwise, no need to worry about it. I hope this answers your quarry. Please feel free to contact Chat Doctor again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
