Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Could it be that you bump into things without being aware of the trauma? Outer part of the thigh would be common site of injury from bumping into furniture. Take picture of the bruises to show your doctor in case the lesions resolve before you see the doctor.
