I have a bruiise on my lower leg that has a raised edge on one side. it has been there for several weeks, it does not hurt but won't go away.

Not normal: A bruise with a raised edge persisting for more than a few weeks is not normal. This symptom would suggest thatr it is still bleeding inside or that some other tissues (muscle or fascia) may have been disrupted. You need to get it checked by your doctor
