What are these small, flat, dark purple spots on my skin?

Question

I developed these spots two days ago. They don't itch. They are about 3-5mm in size. They are on my hip and cover an area about the size of my fist. They seem to be fading. I've had these before and I don't have any other symptoms. Still, it seems weird that they come out of the blue and I don't know if it's something I should see a doctor about. It looks like blood vessels have broken under my skin or something.

Answer 1

Another symptom of neurofibromatosis.
Do younhave a lot of birth marks on your body? 6 or more, along with these new purple spots, is an indication of NF. See a Dr and get a diagnosis.

Answer 2

I'd definately see a dr about it,if it's something that is reoccuring. It might be nothing, but either way,just to be safe,see a dr,that's the only way you'll know for sure,and good luck

Answer 3

It sounds like bruises. But if you don't think that what it is you can call the doctors office and ask. You don't always have to go in to get answers.
