What Causes Recurring Bruise On The Back With Tingling Sensation?
Hello there. So I have a pretty large bruise on the back of my leg. And this isn t the first time. It s in the same spot as the one last time and I don t think I ve hit it on anything that I can remeber. He doesn t hurt when I touch it but it dose start hurting everyonce and a while and also tingles a bit. What s causing this? Should I go see a doctor?

Hi
Yes, you should visit a doctor.The cause of the bruise should be identified. Complete blood counts, bleeding time, clotting time and prothrombin time should be taken to rule out bleeding and clotting disorders. Bruising can also occur due to infection or sepsis, solar purpura (caused by UV rays), in some types of leukemia and hematoma.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
