    That's pretty significant if you've had a bruise for five months for no obvious reason. Drop by a doctor, tell your story, see what happens.

    I agree! A 5 month bruise is not normal. You should definitely have it checked out by a doctor, especially since you've been having pains in your calf as well. If you don't know what doctor to see, just visit your physician and he/she can refer you to a professional.

    A bruise usually doesn't last for five months. Have your doctor look at it.

    Possible clotting issues. Any family members with low blood platelets? Do you have diabetes or suspect it? Advice getting it checked.
