I Hit My Leg On A Shopping Cart And Noticed A Bubble Like Swelling
Hi, today I hit my middle of my leg on bottom of shopping cart right where a varicose vein was. It hurt really bad and soon after I noticed a bubble like swollenness I felt down by the other vein too on my leg which seems bruised and swollen. Should I e concerned or will this heal on its own?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
You have developed a bruise over your skin due to injury,
A bruise develops due to internal tear in blood vessels and bleeding.
Just apply thrombophobe or hirudoid cream over the affected area.
Thrombophob ointment contains Heparin-Benzyl Nicotinate which improves the blood supply and prevents clots. so it will help in faster clearing of the clotted blood.
And you can take oral vitamin C 500 mg twice a day orally for rapid healing.
Hope it helps
