Might be from the years from crawling around.The best way you could get rid of them is get Coco butter and use it twice a day and they might not go away but it will lighten them.Good Luck!

i think (only think!) that its internal bleeding in the muscles. Haematoma is another way of saying bruise, or internal bleeding. No doubt some Dr will come on here and tell you Im wrong in a minute. Just a hunch!

It could be an effect of the anesthesia or pain medications that you were given.  If this continues or if you develop a fever or any other strange symptoms like a rash or bruising, please see a doctor immediately!

maybe runner's rash, if your alittle bigger or an avid athlete this happens alot try some antifungal cream and alittle bit of baby powder some tight fittin clothes like biker shorts would help to.

a bruised bone takes a while to heal.  i really don't know anything that will healing up.  but as far as it not coming back, don't do what caused it to bruise in the first place, or find a way that it dosen't cause trauma to the bones.

It is known as RICE - rest, ice, compression, and elevation.\n\nRest is the most important part of healing shin splints.  When you start walking, or running again, start gradally and don't overdo it.  Shin splints are often caused by overuse, and also by worn out running shoes.  Running on really hard surfaces also contributes to shin splints.  Taking an anti-inflammatory med can help with the pain.\n\nTake care.  I hope you get well soon.

Mauy thai is a brutal art, it takes its toll on all your body parts, i read the answers other poeple put and no body told you this answer and i think its the dead truth, your body never fully adjusts, there are going to be alot of days where you hurt and your sore, guess what thats when you need to get you butt back into the gym and train harder, push your self every day to get better, start taking glucosamine condroitant, it helps with joints and making them work better.  Start to condition your shins on your own, get some slivers of bamboo or just a rolling pin and roll  your shins not alot maybe once a day

i know they cause knee problems so it'll probably cause shin splints too. wear tennis shoes, they're comfy & they don't hurt your feet

Shin splints are impact stresses and stretching really doesn't help that much.\n\nYou need some really well cushioned shoes and to  do whatever it is you are doing on a softer flooring

There can be several causes os what is commonly known as shin splints.  The best thing you can do is to see a doctor or an orthopedic physical therapist who can figure out why you are having your problem.  A lot of the times the problem is caused by muscular imbalances between the muscle on the front of the lower leg and the muscles on the back.\n\nCheck out the exercises on the link below and do stretches for each of the calf muscles and then try some strengthening exercises for the tibalias anterior muscle.  Good luck!

Yes, I've heard of situations like that...The bruises are from that dang knee cap sliding. It's moving around, causing bruises that start from the inside and work their way out. I don't think that normally bruises start from the inside out unless you have a problem like yours, though.

Check in with the doctor first to make sure you haven't worn down the tissue too much. It's probably just a stress injury, but those are some of the most annoying ones. Probably the reason the pain subsides is it goes into a numb-like state, or you just stop noticing because you're in the zone. If this has been bothering you for awhile take at least two weeks off. If you can't do that, then maybe cut back on your mileage to a minimum. Then at least you aren't breaking the habit.

i also had this problem in high school. i constantly had bruises on my chins and had no clue how i was getting them. after a friend observed my behavior, i realized i had a habbit of sitting with my legs tucked under me, causing my chins to rub the edge of the seats. after consulting my physician, he recommended a multivitamin and also a B12 vitamin (for energy, not necessarily for bruising). he, too, said a lack of iron is the most common cause. it doesn't mean you are sickly or should worry; just add a vitamin to your regime and you should be as good as new!

Because most Nikes are crap. Only people with perfect mechanics can get away without getting injured. Take it from me, the main cause of shin splints is overpronation. You probably need a mid-stability shoe that prevents your foot from torquing in. Most people who run fall into this category. Try your local running store to get a proper fit. Or, go buy the Brooks Adrenaline.

Well, bruises are just our bodies way of dealing with trauma.  So, you can try to isolate the area with a cold pack, which will help the blood flow away from the spot, or you can try to cover it with makeup.\n\nHowever, as it is a trauma site, the amount of blood rushing to the area is needed to heal any damage.  So the best way to get rid of a bruise is to never get one in the first place :)
