A member asked:
I've a bruise for several months, although the bruising has faded, it is still very noticeable, should i go to my doctor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why did you have: Bruises on the first place ? The fact that it is fading away is reassuring but the cause of bruising need to be identified . You can bruise from several kinds of blood disorder . It may be related to trauma or totally benign situation . Since the amount of information we have is limited , what i would suggest is if the bruising has external cause and fading away , do not worry
