Could Legs Lumps With Soreness And Bruising Be Due To Herpes?

hello I have been experiencing bumps( just one in different parts on my legs) under my skin any where on my legs, I will gentle scratch it, it becomes a tiny sore then I get huge bruises from it. sometimes I don t even touch them and I will have bruises automatically. unfortunately when I was younger I got herpes from somebody and I almost think its spreading to my legs, is this possible?

According to your history herpes cannot be the cause of bumps on your legs as it doesnt have this kind of presentation. It might be a case of folliculitis which is infection of the hair follicle. I would recommend you to go to a doctor and get it evaluated.
