A member asked:

What does having bumps/bruises on my thigh occasionally means? i am 100% sure i didn't bumped into anything

Specializes in Dermatology

probably normal: Many women bruise easily, especially if you take advil, (ibuprofen) alleve etc. If it gets worse see your doctor to be sure there is no bleeding problem.
