Hi I have had a large purple bruise appear on my calf, this also happened in April 2013 and I went to the doctor but it had started to fade and get better, they were not worried about it and didn t do anything, but now i have another large bruise in exactly the same spot. Both times they did not occur from any injury. Age 31
