A member asked:
What could be causing my skin on my thighs to bruise after scratching it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trauma.: Low platelets, blood thinners, anti platelet medications (such as aspirin) and steroids can do it. If you are not taking medications, you need some blood tests to rule out blood disorders.
