continous bruising same area

continous bruising same area

I am 36 and I  wear a knee brace while skateboarding due to two previous knee injuries.  The brace has caused a bruise on the inside of my knee that never has a chance to heal or go away.  Is this dangerous?  What can happen long term to knee, muscles, ect.?  Any advise?

I would suggest asking a doctor, if you have access to one, rather than simply buying an OTC remedy to treat the symptom.

Easy bruising can mean that you have a low blood platelet count, among other things, which may be serious and may not be. It's worth asking about.
