Are bruises and cancer highly correlated?

I get bruises really easily (and never seem to remember what caused them), and they usually take quite a while to go away. I have one on my lower leg that's been there for over 4 months now (my nurse/practitioner says that's because it's located over a bone...). My husband is worried that there might be some more serious underlying problem...should I be worried with him or not?

no, they are not. This kind of problem occurs when you have a vascular disease in your leg. The most common cause is diabetes but any other venous disease will do. Suggestion: go see your doctor ASAP if you have a wound that does not show ANY signs of healing after 14 days.

i had the same problem and i went to see my doctor and i found out that i have vanwiderbrand dease also if d clots that can end up killing you if there no watched. you need to go see your doctor now.
