For the past couple of weeks, I have been getting these "red bruises" all over my legs. I started out with just a few, but I continuously get more and more. they feel like bruises when I touch them, but some kind of "sting" I don't really know how to explain it, but only if I touch it. they just continuously add up and I don't know what they are or what to do. please help me identify this.. I have also been getting lots of unknown cause bruises everywhere on my legs and some are really bad. thank you for all the help! ♡

Could it be an allergic reaction? I'm not that experienced with skincare, but it might be something you are allergic to.

I don't use any products on my legs besides the lotion I have been using for years and I've never had problems before.

it could possibly be an allergic reaction, but I don't know what it could be from.

and I have to go for physicals soon so maybe I can have the doctor look at it

I'd really advise seeing a doctor. There can be many things causing this, there's a lot and they keep appearing? Definitely something to be concerned about. http://m.md-health.com/Unexplained-Bruising-On-Legs.html.

I don't mean to scare you, but I'd say worse case scenario is cancer or diabetes. Bleeding under the skin (especially around the lower back and spinal area) is caused by a reduction of platelets. Unexplained or unknown bruising can be the early signs of diabetes or cancer.

I am very skinny and run a lot so could it still be diabetes?
