What Causes Bruises Around Thighs?
I have been noticing multiple unexplained bruises on my thighs and one on my abdomin. They vary in location on my thighs (some inner thigh, some outer). They do not hurt to touch. I havent bruised easily in the past and find it alarming to find around six in the past month.

Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Unexplained bruising could indicate an underlying platelet deficiency.
Please get a blood test done to rule out the same.
It could also be due a condition called auto erythrocyte purpura ( commonly called Devil's pinches)which is a harmless condition common in middle aged, slightly obese women. ( You have not mentioned your age and sex).
Hope this helps you.
Take care.
