ok, so I got what appeared to be a cluster of 3 bruises on my right calf a few months ago, then it went away, then today I noticed these "bruises" again in the same place on my leg! WTF? They don't hurt and I don't remember knocking my leg or anything to cause a bruise. What else could this be?

Go to the doctor. There are a variety of reasons this could be happening, some could potentially be life-threatening.

Are you sure they are bruises?
I have a "bruise" on my leg that is a varicose vein. It's been there for about 6 years. It's just how it is. I even had it checked out by a doctor, but nothing. It's just a problem with weight control.

you may want to set up a test to see if you are walking in your sleep. many people get up in the night and get bruises. you could also be causing the bruises in bed. set up a trap by the bedroom door or get creative and see if you are moving around at night. could also be a sign of other medical issue due to blood thining but there would have to be more info given to determine that.

Hi, not to scare you but you need to have a blood test done to just make sure of certain things. One of which could be the AIDS virus. Now im not saying you have AIDS and honestly chances are you don't. But what your talking about, it is a canidate for such a thing.
Good luck

You must have a habit your not aware of, maybe a way of using a weight machine, putting pressure without any pronounced discomfort at the time, so you don't notice it. Maybe work boots laced up high to tight, pushing up on the calf muscle.

do you put your other foot up behid your right leg ?
are they bruises or red marks ? you could be putting your leg against something and not hurting it but restricting the flow of blood.

Go to the doctor and ask. Maybe ask for a CBC and Chemistry Panel to be drawn to check for anemia ect.

is it a mosquito bite?animal marks? or somethin else? what u can do is juss put rubbing alochol or some aloe vera on it everyday and it'll go away. If it doesn't after doing this, go 2 the doctor and let 'em check it out.

Could be cancer. Some kinds don't hurt at all... at least not right away. If they keep getting bigger consult a doctor.
