Hot weather and bruising.....need advice.

I would have thought walking into something would cause one bruise, not three little ones, and you clearly don't remember the impact. That sounds pretty extensive for something you didn't even notice. Do you take aspirin or anything else that affects bleeding? Could they be insect or tick bites? You say you arrived with them, and you have a habit of sitting with your legs under you. Could you have squashed the blood vessels while travelling or while sitting around at the airport? If it expands any further, I would see a doctor. In fact, I would consider seeing one anyway, it sounds unexpected and undeserved and might be serious.

Stop sitting on your poor legs too! It’s definitely not good for them.

Sudden bruising for no reason needs attention. A blood test is in order. Sun/hot weather isn't a cause for bruising, only a hard knock or a blood condition.

Every time I go on holiday my legs are covered in bruises. I think it is from carrying suitcases and bags and I tend to use my knees to push cases about while waiting in queues etc.

I have bruised very easily all my life, have some big ones and most of the time can't remember causing them. They do look unsightly. If I scratch too hard I get a bruise.
As this is a new symptom for you I would get it checked out. Don't sit on your legs, as others say, its not good for you.

I bruise very easily and dramatically. I think being on inhaled steroids for asthma may be partly why.

Aah.....never thought of that liz46, I too on inhaled steroids.? Thanks for all your advice ladies, think it has something to do with heat related vasodilation and my sitting on my legs! We fly home tomorrow so think I will make appt with ANP on Monday just to check it out. Pic of lovely bruise attached-that’s it fading’

For some reason I always arrive with lots of bruises after travelling. I never remember how I did it!
Hope you have a good journey home Katek.

My DH has been told to always wash mouth out after using is inhalers

Thanks jane10-not my preferred mode of travel but will grit my teeth for 2.5 hours and then I shall be back in an extremely wet Aberdeen!!

NanaK, I was also told to wash my mouth after inhalers.....quite frankly, i don't and don't really know what it's done to my mouth. Mind you, I have used inhalers for 40 years or more.
