A member asked:
Why might i be getting unexplained bruises on my shins and forearms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leaker.: Bruising is a phenomena associated with blood leaking from blood vessels and pooling in the tissue. Although bruising is usually associated with trauma, Certain medications and blood problems ca also be responsible. Since your bruises are unexplained, I suggest you consult with a primary care specialist for evaluation.
