What Causes Itching On The Thighs To Bruise Hard And Irritate?
I am experiencing itching on my thighs and I do not know why. I have been trying to avoid scratching but I cannot always help it. After scratching, I noticed my skin becomes extremely irritated and develops a bruise like mark. What may be the problem?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itching on the thighs to bruise hard and irritate, Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like due to some medications that thin the blood, such as aspirin , corticosteroids or warfarin , clogging of skin pores, supplements like fish oil , which also make blood thin , allergic reaction and sunburn .
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult general practitioner/ dermatologist for proper examination of condition . Doctor may prescribe anti allergic or give adrenaline short . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist . Stop taking any medicine that you are taking currently , avoid sun exposure and drink plenty of water.
You should avoid touching or pricking area with any sharp object and apply cold compresses on skin.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
