Hi, XXXXXXX
Welcome to Health care magic.

The symptoms you are complaining about looks like varicose vein. it would be more beneficial if you upload the image of the affected area. So i can conclude a exact diagnosis.

I need more details of your Weight?
Kind of job you work?

Brief Answer:
Need not to worry

Detailed Answer:
If it's just a bruise then need not bother much. It'll vanish in couple of days. If it is any swelling associated with lump or the bruise stays for more than a week then you should get a color doppler scan done to rule out varicose vein or deep vein thrombosis.

As of now be relaxed.

Any query do follow up.

All the best.
