I have bruises on my legs, but I don't remember hitting myself?

Question

Hello, since a few days I have bruises that appeared on my lower legs (yellowish) and a slight pain in the shin + when I walk. I don't remember bumping into anything. Maybe some scratching due to dry skin but nothing major As well as a good bike ride but that was a week ago.

Hello ma'am, could there have been any scratching, rubbing, or have you been exercising recently? Thanks for the feedback! Scratching can cause bruising. So can exercise...if the lesions have not increased in number and size, and in the absence of other symptoms, just monitor the situation for now. I encourage you to apply a fragrance-free moisturizer like Aveeno as often as needed during the day, whenever the urge to scratch arises :) I hope this was helpful, please feel free if you have any other questions!
