What Does Bruises With Itchy Legs Suggest?

I feel itchiness in my legs and arms for about 2 weeks now, I blamed the mosquitoes or insects inside and outside the house. Then at 2 this morning July 9, I notice my left leg under the knee bulge and like I have bruised with no apparent reason and felt a little pain when I press it to massages. Do I have to visit a doctor for this

Hi I did review your condition.
Such a bruise with itchiness can be due to a mosquito or bed bug bite since you noticed at night.
I would advice you to visit a dermatologist and first get the lesions evaluated and get treated if its a simple bedbug bite.
Another reason could be bruising from low platelets or vessel problem which is relatively rarer. For this you might need to get a blood report and then a coagulation profile. However, the visit to a dermatologist is important to determine what exactly the lesion looks like to an expert opinion as both can be very similar.
I hope this helps,
Wish you all the best
