A member asked:
I often have unexplained bruises mostly on my hands, and more recently im getting blood in my nails and around the cuticles, for no reason i can see?

May be a problem.: Bruises on hands are very common and are often "unexplained." however, blood around cuticles and under nails is a bit harder to explain. Should probably see doc to exclude other causes of bleeding.
