Hi all

I have uploaded an image, hopefully you can see. I have noticed just before some unusual brown bruises on my left outer thigh. I can't explain them and have never had so many in one place before. I have had low iron in the past and have felt more tired than usual lately (but unsure if this is just because little one is not sleeping!) Can anyone advise as to what this could be? I don't want to call doctor unnecessarily.

Many thanks

    hi Amanda, if you cant remember knocking your leg on anything, or pressure if you're leaning on something, you really need to see your Dr.

    If nothing else to have your iron and ferritin checked out, they won't think you're wasting their time.
