Random Bruises. Anemic. Is It Cancer? Should I Worry?
I bruises easily since i was 14. I had random bruises for years and I am now 20 years old with the same issue. Today I developed a huge bruise on my thigh. It is brown and blue with 3 small ones underneath it. I am freaking out. I had blood test taken 3 months ago and it was ok except i was slightly anemic. And I got my blood test taken yesterday. But I am panicking thinking it s cancer . I feel fine, I don t get sick

Hi
Such a long history in a setting of otherwise normal health is less likely to be cancer
Young age points to possible inherited diathesis.
You ought to see a HAEMATOLOGIST (Specialist in blood diseases) - and need investigations to evaluate bleeding disorder - starting from common platelet problems to other less common ones.
Good luck
