Hi and welcome to HCM. Bruises are common after a fall. This purplish patch of bruise will subside gradually, dont worry. If u are not having any pain and swelling and able to walk then fracture is ruled out. Take tab taxim o 200mg 1-0-1 for 5 days after food, tab tolpa D 1-0-1 after food for 5 days. Apply povidone iodine ointment on these bruises and give them time to heal. If u have sever pain and swelling and difficulty in walking u have to consult a orthopedician. Regards
