I recently noticed minor bruising on my inner thigh (8/4/14)which was unexpained. No pain. There has been no trauma to the area. The following day the bruising had gotten bigger darker and appeared worse. Today, 08/06/14, The bruises have become extremely dark, streaky, all different colors in an almost lined streaky pattern lines going all different directions (almost scary looking) and my legs have begun to ache. Is her an explanation for this condition?
Hi, Thanks for your query. Unexplained bruising once in while is understandable but if occurs frequently should be investigated thoroughly since it can indicate an underlying medical condition or ailment. It has been observed that bruises are often observed more on women than men. Women often complain of bruising on legs, thighs, buttocks and upper arms. Thinner people are more prone to bruising as they lack the fat cushion that helps prevent injury. It may also be due to deficiency of vitamin C, vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin K. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
