Hello,
Black outs after poking on legs can be due to petechia formation. I suggest you to consult your primary healthcare provider for clinical assessment, relevant investigations like complete blood count, platelet count, prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time. These investigations will help in diagnosis and thus management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
