I carried heavy boxes today that kept bouncing on my upper thighs. now, there are little purple dots, like after scratching too hard. why?

These sound: like bruises from the trauma of the weight of the boxes hitting against your thighs. Be gentle to U.

Small bruises: from the box edges or corners hitting your thighs.
