Bruises On The Upper Biceps , Thighs And Head Without Any Injury. Reason?
i keep getting unexplainable bruises on my upper biceps , lower buttocks and thighs and have a spot on my head that feels like a bruise when I brush or touch it that have been here for weeks and just won t seem to heal. In fact it seems to have gotten larger? I am not being abused and cannot understand where these are coming from? Please advise, thank you,

Hello,
In cases of unexplained bruises without any trauma one needs to investigate the coagulation status of the blood. Usually these kind of bruises occur due to subcutaneous tiny hemorrhages.There can be various causes which can cause such hemorrhages.I think you should see a physician to get clinical examination done.The doctor may initially want to check your platelet count, bleeding and clotting time.
