Ecchymosis: Well, I am not very familiar with your personal life style. However, to dissolved the ecchymosis is best if you apply heat at this point. In the shower for couple of mints and or heat up warmers on the microwave. Apply heated bag for at least 5 mints 2-3x per day. Eventually they will dissolve. Remember within the first 24 hrs apply cold same duration of time and after 24 hrs follow the above.

Diagnosis first: Hi, it’s hard to say without a picture but there is a great app that may be able to help you get a diagnosis without being seen in person by a dermatologist. The app is called VisualDX and is one of the best, if not the best out there. Many clinicians, including myself, use it. Just snap a photo and it gives you a list of possible diagnoses. Good luck!
