2 days ago I fell in my friends garage onto cement.
I have a big bruise under my right knee about the size of my knee, a bit smaller. I have a second one under that thats smaller, and one on the side of my knee and one under the one on my shin. The two that bug me most are the big one and the one under that. They weren't very dark before but they are kind of turning purple, and have bumps. Will this just go away?

they aren't like, little bumps. It's like when you hit you rhead and get a goose egg but on my leg.

A bruise is caused my breaking little blood vessels in your leg or other place called capillaries. If I remember correctly the color of the bruise is caused by blood leaking into your leg. After a while the capillaries heal and the blood goes away leaving you mark. It probably got bgger because a bit more blood leaked into your leg. Its nothing to worry about and will go away.

they'll most likely go away. the puple is a sign that the bruise isn't fresh and that it's healing. i don't know what the bumps are though. could you have gotten debris in a cut? if you have any trouble you should see the doc.
