Suggest Remedy For Bruises In Shin
I have a circular red bruise on my upper part of my left shin. It came about while I was working at a museum where I stand for hours on end. At first while I was at work it hurt for a while, but by the time I got home it stopped hurting and now all that s left is the bruise. Also I d like to mention that I had a previous injury on the same leg in September of last year where a friend accidentally fell on my left and caused a bruise there too. I am 24 years old, I weigh 180 pounds and I am 6 feet and 11 inches tall.

Hello,
I have studied your case.
According to your history possibility of urticarial dermatitis is likely.
Biopsy may be needed for diagnosis. Urticarial dermatitis is an early sign of bullous pemphigoid in some patients. Eventually tense blisters appear.
When the blisters heal up, they may leave brown marks or tiny cysts called milia .
I will advise to consult your treating doctor for management.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care
