What Causes Bruising In The Hands And Thighs?
I am a 20 yr old, healthy female. Thru out the day today I developed bruising all up in down both arms to my hands, a few on my upper thighs, one on my back right over one of my kidneys and one on my stomach. The bruises are painfully tender to the touch and tingly feeling. What could this be?

Hi,
If any history of trauma present than mention it as trauma can be the cause for bruise.
If no trauma history present (most probably in your case) than rule out coagulation problem by PT, APTT, BT like an investigation. It's also advisable to check your platelet count as well.
You can revert back with these reports so that I will guide you further accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
