Question

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?
