    Bruise like mark on leg
    For close to 2 months now, i have noticed a dark bruise like mark on my left leg. At first, i thought that maybe i did indeed brush up against something, but when i touched it, i felt no pain...
    so,i tried to blow it off only to find myself staring into this mark almost daily...
    ive scheduled and missed an appointment ive made for this, and hopefully, i will make an appointment this coming up week. just seeking some answers or even an idea as to what this could be. any ideas?

    You could have vitamin deficiencies vitamin C is one of them

    Eating too few fruits and vegetables ( the problem sailors used to have centuries ago with scurvy outbreaks on long voyages was caused by a lack of vitamin C)
    • taking drugs which destroys this vitamin
    • long-time stress from illness, frustration or depression
    • smoking (one cigarette can deplete the body of 25 mg of vitamin C)
    • frequent emotional outbursts such as anger
    • exposure to pollutants, allergens or heavy metals

    A deficiency in hesperidin, one of the bioflavonoids (sometimes called vitamin P), naturally occurring nutrients usually found in association with vitamin C, has been linked with abnormal capillary weakness. These bioflavonoids, including hesperidin, Citrin, Rutin, Flavones, Flavonals, Calechin and Quercetin, were found to be essential in correcting the tendency toward bruising.
