Hi there, Today I noticed a colourless lump on my leg that within a few hours had come up in a very dark bruise. The bruise has changed colour between deep black/blue and a very red/purple colour. I would like to know the cause as I know I have not hurt myself today. Any ideas?
Hi. Such a change on its own without any history of trauma is a serious matter as you may be suffering from some blood disorders. You should immediately get your blood tests done - particularly - bleeding time, clotting time, prothrombin time and all blood work with platelet count. Consult a Doctor immediately. If all the tests are normal then only you can be sure there is nothing serious about it. This then can be an insect bite too.
