What could cause leg bruising?
Patient: I keep getting bruises on the back of my leg. I ve had one bruise for over a year and in September I broke the outside bone in my left foot and now I m seeing bruises pop up on the back of my lef every month. Why am i getting bruises on the back of my leg? Doctor: Hi,  It sounds like very serious condition and further tests are required. First,you need to rule out blood flow disorder,which can be venous or arterial so you need to do a Doppler ultrasound. Also this can be sign of hematologic clotting disorders too while other causes include infectious diseases. You need treatment with granuflex compresses at this stage.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you good health.  Take care.  Regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
