What Causes Large Black Bruises On The Back Of The Legs?

Over the past few months I have had large black bruises on the back of my legs without having done anything to get the bruise. Sometimes the hurt other times they don't and the range in size. The largest one I had was about the size of grapefruit. Also, I have had sharp pains in my abdominal region. What could this be?

Hi, you should investigate for that. Check your platelets count and coagulation profile once and also consult dermatologist once hope from this you will mostly find the cause for that. Then take treatment accordingly.
