I have bruises on my thighs?

Hello, thank you for your question!

Bruising can occur as a result of many causes, for example: adverse drug reaction, scratching (even during the night when you are sleeping), small 'bumps' as a result of exercise, or bumping into a counter, corner of a table or other (even if it doesn't hurt or wasn't noticed), as a result of venous insufficiency.

Usually in the absence of other symptoms such as pain or swelling, and if it is temporary, no need to worry. If, however, the bruising persists, becomes more numerous or frequent, a visit to a doctor is recommended, purely as a precaution.

I hope I have been helpful, please feel free if you have any other questions!
