How To Treat Bruising On Calves?
Hi, my daughter just turned ten. She does ballet dancing and is always jumping and dancing around. I noticed she has lots of bruises on her legs, specifically her calves. She is thin, 68 pounds but I make sure she eats healthy. Do I need to check this out or worry? Thanks,

Hello,
As this is common sometimes in dancers due to overuse of the muscles of the leg.
As she is doing more of the dancing it is advised to have good food which is rich in proteins as muscle requires the protein to help it's physiological muscle strands to be tightened.
Doing hot water fermentation if the pain is there and having high protein rich diet is advised.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
