Couple things...: May just be bruises, but this seems unlikely if you don't remember any injuries and don't have a bleeding disorder. There are several diseases that can cause a symptom called erythema nodosum which are "bruise-like" lesions on the shins. This can be linked to some autoimmune diseases, infections, etc. If you haven't shown your doctor, you should. These might be a sign of another problem.
