What Causes Bruises On Buttocks And Legs?

Hi ive just noticed a large bruise on the left side of bum cheek area. I get unexplained bruises on legs often and put it down to working with children. I read somewhere thatif u have nosebleeds etc to see a doctor. I was at doctors last week about having my nose cortorised as I have hour long and sometimes two hour long nose bleeds so im a little worried the two things are joined.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have bruises on buttocks and legs . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like trauma , anticoagulant medications , mongolian spot , allergic reaction , side effects of medicine or fungal infection . I would suggest you to apply cold compresses , keep this area clean and dry , take anti histamine like benadryl and apply over the counter antifungal cream . Consult dermatologist if condition doesn't get well . Doctor may prescribe anti bacterial like clindamycin , cortiosteroid ointment and anti allergic like immunosuppressants .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
