What would cause skin above knees to be bluish there was no injury.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bruising: Usually, discoloration like this is due from bruising from injury. The injury doesn't have to be that painful and it could've happened 1-2 days before the bruising appeared. Squatting, strenuous exercise or hamstring strain could possibly do this. If it's happening on the front of both legs, i wouldn't worry about serious things like blood clots. But if persists, have your doc take a look!
