Suggest Treatment For A Large Itchy Bruise On The Hand With Headache
Hello. I get a severe itch and I scratch it. When I look at my skin I see the beginning of a bruise. I have one on one side of my tob that is purple and larger then my hand. I have never had a bruise so large even after bad car accidents. I also have bruises that didn t itch first. All on my legs. I have been getting headaches. I am very tired. I itch everywhere at times. I am achy everywhere and just don t feel well. Also I have pain in the area of my kidney and lower stomach cramping. My eyes are sensitive to light. None of these symptoms are severe but most came all at once together.

It is better you consult a qualified physician because you need to get physically examined and also blood count especially platelet counts and bleeding and clotting times have to be checked.we need to go for TC,DC,ESR, blood urea and serum creatinine AND URINE ROUTINE before coming to final diagnosis.usually easily bruisable skin is seen in low platelet count which needs to be treated immediately,pain in kidney area needs physical examination as well as stomach cramping.in severe anaemia itching is seen,that happens in certain kidney diseases.your light sensitivity also needs physical examination to diagnose underlying pathology.
