Could this be a BLOOD disease?

Question

I asked this already, but did not receive the information that I was looking for.

Lately I've been bruising easily, and most of the time, the bruises only last a minute or two. A lot of the time, they aren't of a purple color, but a bright tomato red, and splotchy-looking. They feel just like bruises though, sometimes even a little more painful. Also, a lot of my skin is quite tender and feels bruised already, when it isn't.

What could cause this?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Go to the doctor, that sounds quite unpleasant and no one on yahoo answers will be able to tell you for sure. Dont delay going to see a professional because it could be serious.

I forget the name of it, but I do think it is an actual blood disease, where your blood is thinner than normal. Try doing this softly.. suck on your skin... Instead of a hickey does your blood just come through your skin? If so It is an actual blood disease... I forget the name... But it is very serious.

Answer 7

imminent death... go to a doctor, if you was gushing blood from your neck would you ask yahoo answers also?

Answer 8

these are not bruises if they only last a min or two...bruises take time to develop...this could be some type of allergic reaction...try changing your environment...it could be a skin disease...or just a painful rash...I would go see a dermatologist first....

Answer 9

You could be anemic.

Answer 10

Everyone gets bruises.  However, if you have low platelet or other bleeding problems, you may develop blood disorder bruising or hematomas  more easily and they may be more severe.

People who bruise easily may have blood clotting problems and have a tendency to bleed easily as well. If you notice that you are bruising or bleeding easily, notify your health care provider of potential bleeding problems.

Symptoms Of Bruising, Hematoma or Other Bleeding Problems:

You may have tiny RED DOTS on your skin, called petechiae (pe- TEEK- ee- ay). These are commonly found on your lower legs. This is a sign of low blood platelets.

You may have frequent nosebleeds (epistaxis).

You may bleed easily, which may be a sign of a blood disorder, or LOW blood platelets.

You may be overly tired, or very weak (fatigue), if you have anemia due to your bleeding problems, or another underlying disorder. It may be hard for you to do any kind of your normal activities.

For many individuals, frequent, unexplained bruising or nosebleeds are the first sign of a bleeding disorder.

If you have a bleeding disorder, you should avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs, as well as aspirin, because these drugs may interfere with blood platelets, accentuate bleeding problems.

Do not take aspirin or products containing aspirin unless your health care provider permits .

Other differential diagnoses : with a tendency to bruise easily are  Hemophilia, thrombocythemia, rare genetic Von Willebrand disease, and  Polycythemia Vera.

Answer 11

You should go to the doctor. Bruising easily with bruises that tend to not go away are a sign of leukemia. You could also have hemophelia.

Answer 14
