Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Greenish Brown Bruises On Thighs. What Is The Cause?
I am 17 years old. I would wake up and see bruises on both my left and right thighs but they re just coin-sized and they are greenish brown. I m pretty sure I would remember poking myself if I did. And i m not really sure if it s a blood clot or what, but I can definitely see blood and it s just about the size of my bruises. I have 8 bruises on my left thigh and 5 on the right. What do you think this is?
hello there! Unexplained bruises with no history of trauma or drug history is an indication of deranged platelets or any bleeding profile. A complete blood count with platelet emphasis and PT APTT INRs would be a good start. Consult the near by GP and Hematologist to sort out etiology for you. Bruises that much unexplained with no trauma is no way normal. Needs work up. Cheers S Khan
