Unexplained bruising. i developed one over 6 months ago and one over 2 months ago. same thigh. don't recall any injury. ?

Bruising: I would get a few labs checked to make certain you are fine which would include a CBC with a platelet count, a PT/PTT, an iron level, your protein and albumin levels and maybe a bleeding time. As a female, if you had a clotting disorder, I would think you would be aware of it by now as you are 26 and I assume have been having a period every month so that would be very heavy.
