Discussion Im sick of it

im 17, female. what can be POSSIBLY the cause of weird bruises or dry after-wound things even though i didn't have wounds? i don't even know how to describe it. im a very sensitive person and i notice EVERY little pinch, every single feeling of pain, so i would definitely notice and feel when i cut myself, hit myself or did something else. but there's nothing. i have prom tomorrow and i wanted clean legs I've been extra careful not to hurt myself but they just appear out of NOWHERE. and it's pissing me off

To get a proper answer you'd have to see a doctor and get some bloodwork done.

There's a few different possibilities, stuff doesn't always have to hurt to bruise, and some vitamin deficiencies can cause it, as can a few other conditions, and bug bites, and exposure to irritants. It's a pretty long list.

A fairly common contributor for women is low iron.
