I have some bruises but the usually go away. Now they become swollen painful lumps. This is new. Should I worry?

I think we’re all in the same boat. I bruise very easily, bruises are lumpy, painful, and they stay for weeks! Most of the time the ones on my legs leave ugly brown marks that don’t go away. It’s hard living in Florida and wearing shorts when your legs are covered with bruises and brown patches.

Sounds like they are becoming hematomas. That needs to be looked into by a physician.
