What Do Unexplained Bruises On The Lower Legs Indicate?
Question: I have 13-15 bruises on my lower right leg. I do not remember bumping into anything. Is it a cause for concern?
Brief Answer:
No,but tests are required
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
If there was no trauma then this may indicate some coagulation disorders or you take medicines which are blood thinners. Third cause are varicose veins. You should do some lab tests,ptorthrombine time, trombocytes count and coagulation factors as well as Doppler ultrasound of lower leg. Wish you good health. Regards
