A member asked:

I've noticed lately that my legs have been bruising without an injury and tonight i noticed 5 small bruises on my upper left thigh. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need to get: to a healthcare provider to check some blood tests, including platelet function studies and coagulation studies. If you are taking aspirin or some other platelet medicine, then that would explain your bruising. Certain vitamin deficiencies including vitamin K can cause bruising.
