Large Area Of Blue Bruising On Left Inner Thigh, Itching, Similar Small Marks On Right Thigh. Any Ideas?

Hi, I have just undressed and noticed a very large (the size of my whole hand) area of blue 'bruising' on my left inner thigh. The 'bruise' was itching earlier and contains some red spots. it does not hurt. there are similar, but smaller marks on my right thigh. they have appeared since this morning as i looked normal then! please help, i am very frightened.
