The blows that are strange or in unusual places could be of concern. The Bruises have a way to bother us for days, either because they are painful or we don't know how they got there. The good news is that most bruises are not a big problem even if you can't explain, he said, a nurse practitioner. Inexplicable bruises usually appear in the lower arms and legs. Sometimes only a slight blow results in a nasty bruise. "If you think a bruise is related to trauma, use an ice pack to decrease swelling in the first 24 hours," Strey said. "After that, a warm compress can help recirculate the blood." Family history, medicines can be blamed "People who have a history of bleeding more than normal during medical procedures and women who receive heavy periods may notice that they also bruise," Strey said. "This may be worrying for a possible underlying hemorrhagic disorder and must be reported. Anyone with a family member who has a hemorrhagic disorder that also bleeds or bruises should easily discuss this with your healthcare provider."Press and over-the-counter medications and nutritional supplements can make it more easily. Some medicines and supplements associated with hematomas include: Bring a list of your medications and how long you have been taking them if you plan to see a doctor about bruises. Older adults grow more easily because their skin is thinner and tend to have less muscle and fat to cope their blood vessels of injury. People who have just skin often clash easily.

They may also appear in the lower legs and may be an early sign of problems with platelets, blood cells involved in clotting. If you have not had a recent strain event, you may indicate a more serious medical condition.4. The Bruises are getting bigger over time. The bruising may be a hematoma that may continue bleeding if you take anticoagulants or have a hemorrhagic disorder.5. You notice much more bruises than normal or bruises in unusual places. Pains in the back, abdomen, and upper thighs may be worrying because most people do not often collide with those parts of the body. Bleeding in joints that cause inflammation or bruising can be a sign of hemorrhagic disorder.6. The brush occurs along with another bleeding.

At least talk to a doctor about it never hurts to see something. Rather be sure to regret if it is a sign of something and you expect too much time that could be too late. Now you have where you can make a phone call to a doctor and many times if it's just a question you're not charged Talk to your PC. Antidepressants are a cause of bruises, but it is a very unusual place. Especially in your column. God luck & God bless me too! I have an oval-shaped bruise in the middle of my back (no trauma) and a lot of red spots on it. How strange. Hi, Liz, although I'm not sure what exactly causes your bruise, I'll share that I also had bruises all over my column, but without an obvious acute injury like a fall. I'm 40 years old by the way. I realized that every time I sat down and leaned on a hard chair, my column to my trunk and any bone in the buttocks would hurt me. I felt better when I got up, so I never thought of causing damage. I realized that the bruising worsened the more I sat in hard chairs (not even so hard, really flat cushioning chairs bothered me too) and continued longer than I did not stay away from sitting on hard surfaces. I started sitting alone in comfortable chairs with enough cushion or stood up if there is no other option, and the bruises started disappearing and now they're gone. It was rare that something so small and not hurt so much that it would cause such bruise when I had never been easily beaten before, but it seemed to be the cause. This caused bright multicolored bruises: purple, blue, yellow, red, simply a disaster – it seemed to be in a car accident or something. I'm very tilted, so things hurt my bones easily. A tip that I use is using thick hooded sweaters and sweatshirts helps protect the spine when it sits and also protects the hip bones from pain in the case of hitting on a counter or something, but that rarely happens. However, I'm already hot all the time, so this makes me even more uncomfortable, so I only wear the thick pork clothes when I leave the house, like the medical appointments where I know I have to sit in a waiting room. I don't want to bring cushions everywhere. I feel like I've gotten into people's path or like I'm thinking, "Your chairs aren't good enough for me, hmph!", so it's no big deal for me to stand up. I live in South Florida and have fun for doctors not to dress up for the season, or to dress up as a depressed person they say (whatever it means, when I have gone through deep depressions, I dressed as usual, but whatever it is). So maybe you'll pay attention if your mattress or chairs are too firm? But obviously you should ask your doctor. Good luck. Oh, you just noticed it was July 2019. I'm sorry. Well, I hope you help the best or help others.hello in my left leg I have a scratch and his red and purple what doses does it mean.. Hey, Emily, thank you for coming.

Hello Ginger, we cannot provide medical advice on this platform. We strongly recommend that you call your doctor as soon as possible or if it is a medical emergency, call 911. Thanks for coming -Jake Hey, I have ulcerative colitis, high liver count, chronic kidney disease, and a lot of bruises on my lower and upper legs... Have you ever found out what this was? I am a "relatively" healthy 30-yo woman. I've always hit it easy. I'm always a little anemic, I have a little overweight, and I have trigeminal neuralgia. I noticed painful bruising under my eyes on my cheekbones for the last 2wks. Having atypical TN affects my second and third branch, I'm used to feeling some pain under my right eye, but I've never had bilateral pain and I've never had bruises. I know for a fact that I was beaten or hurt anyway. I thought it was lighting or maybe even a flute but pain/wheel hasn't gone. Are you suggesting you see my primary family medicine doctor or my neurologist? My neurologist is one of only 3 in my county and is booked months in advance so I would hate to waste your time if this is a problem that cannot help.... I can call him and ask of course, but I looked for my theme and this post came up. Thank you in advance! We cannot provide medical advice on this platform. My suggestion would be to call your primary care provider and direct your questions with him or her. Thank you. Adam What is it about fish oil or vitamin E that can cause this?

At least a little. The best wishes, Angelai'm 28 and just realized that the same thing happens from nothing (two weird bruises.) ... I sleep on my left side but in the last few days I could not help accidentally hit some new (not huge) boot heels against a hard bed frame. I wonder why I have a frodon bruise on my left arm, between the inside wrist and elbow. I'm confused, too. Please, get in touch if you find out. I want the best! makes sense that my muscles suck; I don't work and anemia doesn't help, but can someone guess why I'm bruising in my arms (in addition to bed fashions)? Hello Lane, We arrived at an oncology/hematology nurse on our team and here was your advice:"Sometimes the bruises come out of nowhere because we don't always notice when or if we bumped into something or they caught someone or worked outside (sometimes new activities – like the courtyard after a long winter of "doing anything") now bring pained muscles or blows/wheels without even realizing it. If the bruise persists or enlarges without any obvious reason, it is better to see your primary care provider or urgent care. I hope that helps! – Jake I have a sudden witch on the back of my thigh. I didn't hit anything there. It's pain when it's touched and has a slight blow. It's the second time it happens.

It's not painful, even if I press it, but it won't disappear. I haven't had any trauma in my abdomen. The bruise is multicolored, with purple, blue, green, gray and yellow areas as if it were trying to heal but somehow the bleeding that causes it to continue to occur. I wonder what he's causing. I also have the same bruise in the same location. No pain or discomfort. Do you have a diagnosis? She finally left? Mike, he's gone, but only three more weeks after I published here, and he's healed at a very slow pace. All together, that bruise was there for more than two months until it was healed. There's no diagnosis so far, my doctor's a little confused about the whole thing. He had some blood tests, ultrasound, and chest X-rays, he was told to see a gastroenterologist and schedule a colonoscopy, but he couldn't get an appointment before May, and in the meantime everything went away.

I began to notice that it began to grow, and as this happened, it became another 1 in the same exact place in my left leg. About a month later another 1 appeared on my lower right arm and then some smaller on my legs and thighs. Over time it grows and puts light in the middle with a darker circle around and a little brown. Sometimes it gets lighter but doesn't want to leave. I don't have any other symptoms. Thank you. Hi Kauthar. I think I have the same problem. I'm dying to know if you've discovered what it is. I've searched everywhere online, and I can't find anything that seems to represent the problem I have. I went to the doctor just when I noticed it, and they thought it was a bug bite and they prescribed me an anti-inflammatory cream, but it hasn't been working. I don't think it's a bug bite because it's been growing so long since then, too. Do you have any answers? Sounds like you have what's called Pityriasis rosea.

Last year, I had a very swollen ankle and a blood test suggested that it was a DVT but when they scanned my leg in the hospital, there was no DVT (thankfully).

They spend the night and leave in a couple of days. However, they return without any reasoning. Is there a medical condition that can cause a bruise to leave a permanent mark (we call it permabruise) on the skin once the bruise has been clarified or gone? Hi, Elzbet. I'm gonna get some of our suppliers and see if they have any thoughts. In the meantime, you can find useful information about our healing story: And, if you're worried about your bruise, it's important that you talk to your doctor. -KirstieHello, Elzbet. One of our hematology/oncology practitioners said: "I am not aware of permanent marks after bruising. This does not mean that it is not a real phenomenon, but it is not my area of experience. "He mentioned that dermatology was possibly a good resource for you, and added, "The skin is such a dynamic organ that some bruises can be rash, discoloration of other anomalies, or caused by trauma that the person does not remember even happened. It should be very frustrating for some people who do not have insurance or a primary care provider to keep hearing, 'Go see your doctor', but sincerely, these areas of the skin need to be visualized and a full health history needs to be taken. Therapies or herbal supplements can also cause bruises or interactions with medicines that people do not notice. That is why it is important that these concerns be transmitted to a primary care provider. It is not responsible for us to provide contextless suggestions. "Best wishes, and thank you for reading Shine365. -Kirstie10 bruises on me and know for a fact that I didn't hit anything Hello, I'm a 28-year-old male who's not in any medication, but is currently getting bruises on my legs.

The nose bleeds and is a painful nit at all. I wonder if I hit him while he squeezed a grain, but it's never happened before. It's right at the tip of my nose. If I care. Looks like I smelled something and left a dirty mark. Hey, did you figure out what caused the bruise? I have exactly the same in my nose now. I'm 18 and I'm experiencing severe bruises covering my legs, hips, and sometimes my stomach. I was diagnosed with chronic idiopathic urticaria and the doctor is assuming that they appear due to the urticaries I receive daily. I was tested for leukemia and the results were negative. The bruises are not painful, but uncomfortable and spicy. Any recommendations on a different type of doctor to see? Or any other potential cause? Hi, Bailey. Candy, oncology/hematology, thinks that the first step is your primary care provider, which may recommend to an allergy specialist, rheumatologist or dermatologist. Sometimes in cases of hives, bruising can be discoloration of the skin. This must be evaluated by someone who can visualize the marks.

Did you ever go to the doctor? What did they tell you it was? I realize bruises on the back of my right thigh going to the center of my thigh. It doesn't hurt. I'm not sure how long he's been there while I've noticed about 3 days ago. I was diagnosed with anemia in the past. I also had gastric sleeve surgery 2 years ago.

I haven't had health insurance since my ex divorced me after taking everything I had. The back is terribly hard to see, I use a mirror with a mirror. A while ago, I have noticed many (like 4) small "wheels" or discolorations on my upper back. Maybe the size of a nickel. Every time I checked, they're there. He had a collision head in 1993 and three slide discs, one was eliminated (C4-5). I still have to remove C5-6 and T/L. Could this discoloration be the results of the slided disks? I hear cracks all the time and I feel them on my back. Hi, Nancy. We cannot give individualized medical advice on our blog. Questions about your discos slipped and discoloration are really more appropriate for your primary care team that knows better your medical history, current conditions and medications. I talked to one of our neurologists. She said – in general – there is not usually a relationship between bruising/discoloration and a disc.-Kirstie What is the point of having the blog if you are not giving individual advice to people? If your answer to everyone is going to be to see your doctor then this whole site is a waste of existing lol. People obviously came to this place thinking they'd have real answers and you told them to see their doctor as if they didn't think about it? All I've read as answers are things that I, like 19 years old without a medical school, could have told these people. These people want real answers, real things HELPFUL. They don't want to hear "see your doctor" as that's a dice. I'm assuming you have a medical school background so how about you're helpful and give educated additions to what might be wrong if people coming to this blog ask for help. From what I see, ALL this blog is telling people is to see a doctor or tell people to be one of their patients, which I hope none of them took that offer by seeing how their clinic really doesn't care about people, they care about collecting that insurance. You're wasting people's time and you should feel embarrassed. Honestly, people who communicate with each other seem to have better answers than you. If you really care about people and their well-being then you would provide answers, even if they're wrong they'd at least be educated guesses. (that's what people want, if they've all got the lead). I'm surprised no one has said anything yet, this blog is a joke like the people who handle it. Not even a safe site anyway, so it's not just people who suffer with their health, but their computers are at risk for viruses from this site, the nice and oh so useful. So I have different shapes and colored bruises all over my legs, one leg is worse than the other. There's no reason for them to be there like I didn't get hurt.

TMI but I also have blood on my stool that seems to come and go but it doesn't seem like a big problem, after reading this I wonder if they're related. Should I go to my doctor about this?

It may be nothing but today my friend entered the job and showed me two giant bruises almost identical at the back of his calves/knees. When she asked what happened, she said that the only different thing is that she started working more – specifically running in a Tredmil. When he asked the physical therapist at work what he thought might be gave him a quisical look and asked if his periods were regular.

He also shared additional information on abortions in general. "Sometimes heavy periods can be a symptom of hemorrhagic disorder, as well as unusual bruises. Another question is whether abortion was spontaneous or planned: If it is spontaneous, with new unusual bruises, you need to see a primary care provider or OB/GYN, as these may be symptoms of an underlying bleeding/cloth disorder. If abortion was planned, the question could be whether the bruise was related to any posture he had during the procedure. You should check these bruises, and be seen by a provider for additional health history and work. Based on what we know, this seems to need to be seen very soon."-KirstieHi I got hurt about 5 months ago playing football in my bed. The bruise is still there and the lump What could this be?

I thought it was nervous, but I just bruised my legs, but it's all over. The bruise has lasted two months. I don't want my doctor to think I'm crazy. I'm only 36 years of trouble-free health. My thighs are covered with bruises. They were chopping before a bruise appeared. Currently in contact with a doctor they think the blood disorder. Waiting to be seen by a hematologist Do you have an answer? I have had this happen to me periodically with time, but it does not happen "all" time. I spent Friday night and completely lost a flight of 4 staircases, landing hard at my bottom on the landing of the steps. On Saturday morning I had a bruise already forming on my left cheek with numbness in part. Today (Tuesday) the bruise is horrible in dark blue and purple. There's still an area of her that's numb. The bruise is the size of my hand. It hurts to sit on a hard surface (bathroom chair), enter and leave a vehicle due to weight distribution. I did it on Saturday and Sunday. I am a type 1.5 diabetic (from the onset, dependent on insulin). My concern now is double: #1: Is there any cause to worry about the formation of a blood clot? #2: Why is it an area of it numb?

To all of you who have concerns about inexplicable bruises... it can be a sign of candida (yeast) growth in your system or an underlying bacterial infection... both will cause random bruises on the skin. If you eat wheat, make sure that the product does not contain yeast... also avoid all aged cheeses, chocolate, citric acid (it is made with aspergillus mold), tartar cream, malted barley flour... and basically any fermented product because fermentation makes yeast grow rampant. Also... use patchouli oil and bergamot oil... these 2 essential oils in particular are antifungal and when applied topically to the skin (only several drops a day) will kill the bacteria candida albicans internally. In addition, take a teaspoon of coconut oil daily... only pressed without refining and cold (do not buy anything else because it will contain chemicals and do not buy MCT oil because the acid lauric has been eliminated). In addition, take 500 mg (a capsule) of cinnamon bark extract daily... only the Solaray brand because it is cinnamon verum (cigar cynamon)... Don't take a lodge cinnamon! If you follow this regime, the inexplicable bruises will stop. Candida is very serious and can grow to proportions of magnitude in the body when it reaches a certain level... thus avoiding all yeasts and moulds in fermented foods. I hope I've been helpful to all of you. Hi Katrina my name is Eugenia I saw your comment I have the same problem bruises without explaining but doctors will not hear that they say well but I don't feel well at all have all these symptoms and are interfering with my life for pain of weak and dizziness swelling inflammation digestion ovarian cysts and urine infections and candidacy that seems not to disappear, maybe weight loss can give me advice ? Thanks, your suggestion worked for me. Very appreciated. Kim, it also sounds like you pinch a nerve that can cause numbness. Doctors usually X-ray and may suggest physical therapy. However, I have found Chiropractic to work well. I wish the Doctors and Chiropractors worked as a team. The chiropractic will make X-rays and gently adjust the body and massage would help the blood flow back to that area. I wish you the best! When I was a teenager, I was very easy. I didn't care. Like most teenagers I was very active and I didn't take care of myself the best. In a checkup the doctor noticed my bruises and being mandatory reporters had to do tests. If there's a real problem, I think the doctors will find it. Within hours, my doctor sent me to the hospital to perform multiple tests and oncology/hematology. I was diagnosed with multiple diseases and blood disorders in weeks and I didn't even realize I was sick. Your doctor is the best resource!

Then I asked him to show me his arms and back, bruises, but not like his legs. I've never seen anyone with that lot of bruises. The bruises were more brown.

There are also some of them on the back of the lower right leg. I have no idea how they got there. It's the weirdest thing because everyone looks the same and they're very close. Has anyone else had anything similar? I experienced something similar when we moved to a different house. I had these strange long bruises, thin and similar to the line through my upper thighs. Multiple bruises in different healing stages. Now I've grown easily but I was worried about the repeated bruise because I had a sister with ITP as a child. Then one day he literally hit me, when he was running from the baby's room to the kitchen " he ran to the dining room table. I had been running every night when I was taking care of the baby but my private sleep mind didn't remember what happened in the morning. I moved the table on 6" to the left " the bruises finally healed. I have the same problem. My right leg around. Im 36 & will not leave, I am very insecure about them. You went to the doctor? Is something wrong? I'm curious to know that my sister has the same thing in the front of her legs. I have the big bruise on the back of my calf on the right side. I had it both, but the left side went. I didn't hit him and I did the weirdest thing I've ever had for a month. So I've been experiencing some bruises on my lower legs, the upper thighs, the inner thighs, the outer thighs, my back, my neck and my sides of my abdominal region. I was wondering if you could have a reason for all these bruises. I don't remember finding anything either because I have a very low pain tolerance, so I would have known if I ran into something.

How you can get another bruise on top of a bruise. Hi, Noah. I shared your question with Candy. She said, "There are many hairs on the skin, so although a bruise is evident, if the same area is hit again or the capillaries do not completely heal from the first damage, the bruise may appear as if it were a "ruid in a bruise." I would associate this with an event where the area is repeatedly damaged – that is: frequent or repetitive labor duties, athletes who use equipment, or if the tissue is friable and cannot be completely healed due to poor healing of wounds or some use of medicines (such as aspirin or thinner use of the blood or steroids that can reduce the skin). If this happens frequently, it should be evaluated by a medical professional.

You should check a doctor immediately.. especially if it is for unknown cause. Reading all these stories > reviews, I have had very similar symptoms. I am not a doctor or anything, but I have several health problems and I wanted to offer my personal opinion based on my own experiences. I would definitely contact your primary care provider " get a lab job. Anemia is not something to ignore. Luckily, if your anaemic is easy. Also, due to itching too, you would have your doctor check your kidney liver. Medicines can also cause itching as you experienced. If bruising continue and are not related to anemia or vitamin deficiencies, I strongly recommend that you see a doctor of Rheumatoid and hematology. I have a rare immune disorder called antiphosphospholipid syndrome, which makes me more prone to blood clots, infections, and even cancers, along with many more symptoms associated with it that can be debilitating sometimes even dangerous. It caused me cancer, hypertension, clot, " stroke. Unfortunately, I was born with her " I never knew. Did I? My life would have been much better.

Hi, it's been happening all the time I can remember, sometimes in my dream, inexplicable itching that doesn't leave and I can't stop scratching, just in my upper thighs and behind my knees. Sometimes I will wake up and notice these great bruises CRAZYYYYYYYYYYYYY and I am aware that it is to scratch the bc sometimes you can see where my fingernails were constantly digging. Fortunately I have sunnails on, so I'm not cutting my skin, but that's also happened. And it's like once I start scratching, I literally can't stop and my legs get hot. What throws me out is when I do it while I sleep. I think I'm a little anemic about what I remember. I weighed around 97 pounds and I'm at the beginning of 20. Idk what I could take into account, so I'm just pulling that I ended up on this website because I woke up this morning with bruises in my abdomen. But it was not preceded by any pain or itching as when I get into my size or fingers or fingers. And I've never had a bruise in my abdomen without injury. Anyway, I also put this in my thighs and it feels like you say. The bruise is preceded by the mad beak. My thought also seems like someone has fucked me up. So I can say it's spontaneous ecchymoses. My doctor hasn't been worried because I have Ehlers Danlos. It gets worse with some things, like many nuts, vitamin E or D. Hope that helps. Wow, the same exact thing here. Have you been with the doctor to find out the cause? My first thought is your laundry routine. I noticed similar symptoms a long time ago, and since I started rinsing my clothes (especially PJs because you're in them for a long period of time with tissue right against the skin). I will often add vinegar (a cup or so white vinegar) to the first rinse, then the second rinse to rinse the vinegar. Cut all the soap residue and lower the drainage. This also applies to your sheets and your towels; we do not realize the contact we have with these, and rinsing every type of detergent helped me enormously. Another thought is the possibility of an overgrowth of the candidacy (yeste), as well as causing a vaginal infection, but the vaginal is more local. If it's a skin yeast "infection" you might try to take Acidophilus caplets, yeast doesn't like it.

I'm in the middle of the '60s and I finally realized that a vitamin C deficiency always caused bruises. For years, I've just taken vitamin C for regular bruises and left. This time in my life I was taking 1000 mg pills from different manufacturers and I wasn't working to fix my bruises. What I found out is that when we get older we don't assimilate our vitamins as we did when we were younger. I found a vitamin C called Vitamin C Lipospheric in packages. It's expensive, but it worked to stop this bruise problem I had. If you go to youtube you can do something called Vitamin C Liposomal. This mixture takes vitamin C to the small intestine where you can absorb if you are having a problem like the Lypospheric C does. They're the same ingredients. Hello, Jason.

In which, my r levels tested every 3 months to make sure they don't go up to the levels where transfusion is needed. I hope this can help! Good luck! God bless your health!
