Bruise On Thigh For Months. Having Fibromyalgia, Sleep Apnea, GERD. Cause Of Bruise?

I have a bruise on my right thigh that will not go away. It remains the same color and size and has been there for 3 months. It is light in color and it is not painful. I have fibromyalgia, degenerative arthritis, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and gerd. I am prescribed Benicar, dyazide, omeprazole, micro K, gabapentin, baclofen, tramadol and norco.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

you might be having a low platelet count and hence you are developing these bruises.

Get your platelet levels checked.

Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal,

But in your case it is prolonging

you can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.

A photograph would have helped me better.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
