What is the painless,recurrent bruise on my upper thigh?
Patient: I have a fairly large bruise on my upper right thigh that continues to show up for no real reason. It doesn t hurt at all while the bruise is there, however it does hurt a day or two prior to the bruise showing on the skin. I am not sure why the bruise keeps coming back to the same spot & it seems to be bigger this time then the last time. It takes about a week for it to go away & usually will not come back for weeks & then for no reason just comes back. Doctor: Hello, Such painless bruises generally occur due to:-Clotting disorder in blood-Injury-Some medications like aspirin.I shall advise you first to check about any thing from which you are unknowingly getting injured and then check for any medicine side effects.
