A member asked:

Why do i get bruises all over my legs for no reason? 5 unexplainable bruises, not a result of any type of trauma or impact.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Easy bruising: Is this new? Also, over the legs, one may not notice mild traumas in day to day activites. If it is new u should see ur doc to get some blood tests. Sometimes soem infections can cause ur plartelet functions to be abnormal or it may be a new problem.
