Accepted Answer

It depends: could be a simple bruise but will need to examined to know for sure

Question 2

itchy purple rash like spots on my inner thigh?

Accepted Answer

Need more details: How long have they been present?  Is it getting worse or better?  Even with detailed information, it is difficult to provide an answer for a skin rash.   Best to check with your doctor if the rash has  been present for over 2 weeks.  May try 1% hydrocortisone cream for a week and see if this helps.

Question 5

i have a rash on my upper thigh that is dry, and turning purple. it's itchy.

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately it is: almost impossible to diagnose a rash over the internet as we cannot see it on this forum. What you have described could be a number of different things. You will need to be seen by a health care provider so the rash can be seen and examined. Make an appointment today.

Question 6

red/purple spots on thigh, clustered closely together, covering large area, long streaks. had very similar rash before several times over the years. ?

Accepted Answer

Exam needed: Such an eruption could be due to inflammation of tiny blood vessels(vasculitis) which may be caused by an autoimmune disorder or leakage of blood from capillaries(petechiae) seen with low platelets,for example.  Your physician or dermatologist would have to inspect this eruption in order to make a diagnosis and order any appropriate tests.

Question 7

hey, i have a rash like patch of red dots on my upper outer thigh. it's smooth and itches nonstop, it's purple-ish but is mostly red, what could that ?

Accepted Answer

Could be anything: This could be a simple fungal infection, dermatitis or something serious such as a melanoma. See your doctor for a proper skin examination / dermoscopy to get a definite diagnosis. It is difficult to tell what it is without having a good look at the spots

Question 8

i woke up with a weird purple rash on my thigh. there are dark purple dots the size of freckles/moles. is it normal or should i see someone?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Skin blood spots are called petechiae (purpura if they are big), and are due to blood cells leaking out of the tiny blood vessels in the skin. After blood cells have leaked out, the area behaves just like a bruise (the body breaks down the blood cells into different colored pigments, and carries them away). Sometimes they are nothing bad; other times they mean a serious blood or infection problem.

Question 9

have cold & a 4cm by 3cm purple/red pinprick rash on my thigh that, doesnt fade under glass & hasn't spread. doc didnt seem too worried but should i b?

Accepted Answer

Observe it: It could be nothing other than part of a viral illness you have. If it is spreading or getting worse you need to be seen ASAP. If you are feeling worse in general be seen. Otherwise observe it, take care of yourself and it will fade.

Question 10

i have a purple skin rash on my upper outside thigh and very small dots of purple on my arm and stomach. it is not itchy or raised.

Accepted Answer

Purple skin rash: A purple skin rash and purple red dots may indicate a bleeding process. Please consult your physician soon especially if you are not feeling well or have a fever.
