I've been noticing these dark bruise-like marks showing up on my lower legs for the last 8 months, and no matter what, they just won't fade away. It's kind of worrying me because they keep increasing. I am on the heavier side, and I'm wondering if my weight might be causing these haematomas, especially when there's pressure on certain spots of my legs. I've talked to a couple of doctors, but none seem to really get what's going on or how to treat it. Is there something else I could try, or some insight I might be missing?

I'm 37 and have been dealing with severe acne for years. My doctor put me on Sotret 20 mg, but I'm also experiencing hair fall. He advised me to try Adgain for it. I'm a bit concerned and curious if it's safe to take both Adgain and Sotret together. Will there be any negative effects?
