A member asked:
Why do i have huge purplish bruising/spotting all over my legs and feet?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Bruising/spotting: Seek immediate medical attention. You could have a very serious platelet/autoimmune/infection problem which could be life threatening . GO TO AN ER IMMEDIATELY or CALL 911

Not sure.: Spotting as you describe is associated with some bad things. Would be very important to have someone see this face to face. A picture is worth a thousand words.
