What Could Small Bruises On Both Thighs Indicate?

Out of nowhere I have there small bruises on both of my thighs. All the way around, and the area is about the length of my hand. Each bruise is about the size of the tip of my finger. Now they don t hurt when press on them but they haven t gone away. I ve had them for about 2 weeks now.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,

From your symptoms,it seems that you may be having some form of bleeding disorders or Henoch schonlein purpura or Hemolytic uremic syndrome.

If i were your treating doctor,i would have advised you some tests like
Complete blood count,
USG whole abdomen,
Liver function test,
Sr.protein and fractions,
B.T,C.T,PT,APTT.

Do you have any other symptoms besides the bruises?
Do you have any other chronic disease or have you experienced such symptoms before?

I would also suggest you to go and consult with your GP for a clinical examination and advise you the tests so that the etiology can be found out and treated accordingly.

Hope your query has been solved,
Take care
