Why do I get like this(bruises)?

Question

Okay here's the thing, yesterday, I scratched my leg with my pants on and that just didn't cut it. So I pulled my pants down and scratched directly on my skin. Well that felt great, but later that night, I noticed that my legs were sore to the touch. This morning when I got into the shower, I noticed that I have dark red scratch marks, little red spots, and huge bruises on my legs in the area that I was scratching. Does anyone out there know anything about that? I've noticed the bruises before, if I just bump my arm or leg or any part of my bosy against something, I end up with a gigantic bruise on my body. Can someone please tell me what is going on. I plan on going to the doctor in two weeks, but I don't know what to say is wrong with me. Thanks.

Answer 1

First of all if you are taking any kind of blood thinning medication such as plavix, aspirin, or coumadin, then this is a side effect. You will bruise more easily and more frequently if you are taking any of these medications. Try taking some vitamin c, that may help. But please, go to the doctor. It may be the start of something more serious. Better to be safe than sorry.

Sounds like you are Anemic. You must have low iron in your diet. You can try to take iron pills or add iron to your diet. This has happened to me before.

Answer 4

I also have this problem and my Dr. says its from taking cortisone and anti inflammatory. Other meds can mess with your clotting time also. Check any meds you have taken recently. He put me on vitamin k.
