Sometimes bruising on the skin indicates a serious health problem.
Dermatologist from Germany Jan Handgebert noted that bruises may even be a symptom of some types of oncology, for example, leukemia (as blood cancer is called).
Particular attention should be paid to hematomas that do not appear after a bruise, blow or injury, but on their own.
Bruises can appear after minor injuries and are sometimes accompanied by bleeding from the nose or gums.
Bruises against the background of leukemia differ from the usual in size, they are large. In addition, small rashes appear on the skin, red or brown. Such points can be observed on the patient's face, arms, legs, abdomen. And they are not related to allergies, for example.But do not panic if you find yourself with multiple bruises that appeared for no reason. Sometimes bruises on the skin are indicative of a bleeding problem, and this can be corrected, but you will have to have a blood test first.
Disruption of coagulation (clotting) is hereditary, sometimes it becomes a side effect of taking drugs. With such blood, a person is at risk of bleeding even after a minor injury. Bruises in this case are dangerous if they are located close to the bone, are deep.
