Can Thigh Bruises With Vein Prominence Be Due To Septicemia?
Hi, I had an itch on my thigh earlier today and remember scratching it. I have just showered and was shocked to see big purple bruises over my thigh, what looks like tiny blue veins and red spots. I have had septicaemia in the past and am worried it s happening again. What should I do?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Not to worry. Bathing or warm water at the location has increased prominence of veins and also due to scratching, it has become prominent.
2. Septicemia would present with extensive areas of hemorrhage and infarction at multiple locations.
3. This is not septicemia. Apply cold compression, it will go.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
