Black and blue, unexplained lumps on your legs can be signs of something serious. Please consult your doctor immediately.
These could be signs of any of the following:
- Diabetes
- Autoimmune disorders
- Hemophilia
- Taking too much aspirin
- Vitamin C deficiency
- Anemia
As you can see some of the conditions described above are fairly benign and can be treated with home remedies, but some are quite serious and need immediate medical attention.
If the problem is benign, then you can try the following home remedies to see if they help:
- Get an iron supplement on a regular basis or eat foods rich in iron
- Take a vitamin C supplement or eat tomatoes, oranges and other citrus fruit
- Avoid taking drugs which can thin the blood.
- Get at least 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables a day and restrict the intake of processed and refined foods or at least take them in moderation.
- Don't over exercise, but do get moderate amounts of exercise. The important thing is to maintain a balance.
Bruises in themselves may be nothing to worry about, but if they are a sign of some underlying serious disorder you should not neglect them. Talk to your doctor immediately. Also try and find out if you are taking any medication that causes bruising as a side effect.
