They show up mostly on my legs, but sometimes in other places such as my arms & hips. I don't know what's happening, but they don't heal quickly either.
When I was younger I never bruised, now I could bruise from someone slightly poking me.

It turned out her white platelet count was nearly gone. They did not do anything just monitored her. It eventually went back up. Years ago she would have had a bone marrow transplant but they said they like it to repair itself when possible.
Thye said it could have been caused with a bad virus at some time.
Just get checked because if its the same you bleed internally which is not good. I dont want to worry you,just take care and dont worry. [ debs59's advice column | Ask debs59 A Question ]

Don't get scared cause this is just one slim possibility but i would recomend getting to a doctor quick because those could be a sign of lukemia ( a type of cancer ) but it is still not very likley. Hope it turns out ok. :) [ drkranen31's advice column | Ask drkranen31 A Question ]

I am not sure what is causing this, but as it is something and unusual, and because it is related to your body, which you want to make sure is as healthy as possible, I recommend visiting a doctor as soon as possible.
