What Causes Blackish Red Color Patch On Thigh?
Question: Hello Doctor,
Few months back I have noticed a blackish red color patch on thigh. It appears to be underneath the skin and not over it, but I could see it. It is dark initially but it started getting lightened and disappeared. Few days back I could again find a similar patch below the abdomin on the leg. Is it any sign of any health condition? In the recent blood reports the lympocytes count is 2.9 Is it due to this I am facing this issue? Please let me know
Thanks

Brief Answer:
Most probably ecchymosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
According to your history it seems to be patches of ecchymosis which is basically formed due to bleeding in the skin.
They gradually change colour and disappear.
It usually occurs secondary to trauma but can also occur due to some bleeding disorder.
I would recommend you to get the following tests done to rule out any abnormality: bleeding time, clotting time and platelet count.
Lymphocyte count is not related to this condition.
