Hematoms on my legs
I've been dealing with bruisess on my legs for quite a while now. They appear when I scratch my legs. Sometimes I have legs full of bruises - some small and some scarily large. I went to see my doctor because of it and she had me run some blood tests, but the results came back fine. Nothing seems to be wrong there. She said I just had sensitive skin. But I'm still worried. It looks really scary sometimes and the people that see my legs when they get bad are worried too.I don't know what to think

Hello Ma'am. Very Good evening. Please don't worry. I advice you to go for a blood test as follows: PT- INR, APTT, BLEEDING TIME AND CLOTTING TIME. Apart from this you can also go for a colour doppler scan of your lower limbs, which will give information about your adequate arterial supply to your lower limbs and the venous return. Our liver is responsible for the production of clotting factors. Along with this scan and blood test,  you should also go for a liver function test which is also a blood test. I assure you,  something will come up, that has been missed & get treated. There is no terminology in Medicine like sensitive Skin. Then why the other Body parts Skin is not sensitive and free from any bruises. Weird. Kindly come to practo chat after the reports and previous prescription and Reports for your evaluation, counseling and treatment part. Regards.
