Bruises heal: Bruises typically heal and disappear over time unless you keep re-injuring the same area over and over again. Mother nature did a good job with this.

Hi doctors! I take Plavix 75mg daily. I get occasional purple bruising of unknown origin...at least unknown to me! How do you/how does one know if the purple bruising is a reaction that "the Plavix is working," or that something is or may be wrong?

I bruised my calf a week ago and I only applied ice one time on the injury. Could this have caused scar tissue to form? If so, how to get rid of it and is it possible to achieve a full recovery and how long might that take?
