What Causes Purple Bruise On Thigh?

I noticed a purple bruise like mark on my thigh. It has spots of purple on a mild yellow area. It also doesn t hurt and feels slightly lumpy to the touch. I don t remember how long it s been there. Could it be just a bruise even though it doesn t hurt?

Hi

Any blood disorders may lead to such kind of bruise

Eg Idiopathic thrombocytopenic Purpura

Get a blood platelets test done and get back with reports
