What Causes An Unexplained Scratches On Thigh?
woke up this morning an it looks like I was burned by a cigarette on my inner thighs. Both sides and on one side a huge scratch appeared and I have no idea how they got there. What on earth can tat be? Is that an interaction with anti-depressant drugs that I recently started about 1 month ago

Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, it should be reviewed by a dermatologist as it seems less likely to be allergic rash however traumatic or bruise secondary to bleeding diathesis should be ruled out. Blood counts to monitor platelets may be done. Clotting profile may also be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin
