Bruising

[backwoodsman]

I am type 2 diabetic.

12 days ago I fell over, 6 days later a bruise appeared, now another 6 days later, is is still as bad as the day it appeared.

Is there anything I can try, to reduce the bruising?

I would feel silly going to the doctors with a bruise.

The picture makes it look washed out, is it actually far darker.

Try this, bit old school to use Arnica but it does work

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

Looks pretty bad, worth a trip to the GP I reckon (they won't laugh).

I had a bruise like that last year, turned it I had broken my 5th matatarsal! If it's sore, go to a&e.
