What may cause yellow bruises about 1 cm allover the legs. They do not turn yellow. Not resulting from a bump or hit. They show up and disappear in a day or two. But keep coming back again.

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. Between 5-10 days after the initial trauma your bruise will begin to turn a yellow or green shade. These colors are the result of the compounds biliverdin and bilirubin, which are produced when the body needs to break down hemoglobin (blood). Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
