Why do I get like this(bruises)?

Question: Okay here's the thing, yesterday, I scratched my leg with my pants on and that just didn't cut it. So I pulled my pants down and scratched directly on my skin. Well that felt great, but later that night, I noticed that my legs were sore to the touch. This morning when I got into the shower, I noticed that I have dark red scratch marks, little red spots, and huge bruises on my legs in the area that I was scratching. Does anyone out there know anything about that? I've noticed the bruises before, if I just bump my arm or leg or any part of my bosy against something, I end up with a gigantic bruise on my body. Can someone please tell me what is going on. I plan on going to the doctor in two weeks, but I don't know what to say is wrong with me. Thanks.

Answers:
First of all if you are taking any kind of blood thinning medication such as plavix, aspirin, or coumadin, then this is a side effect. You will bruise more easily and more frequently if you are taking any of these medications. Try taking some vitamin c, that may help. But please, go to the doctor. It may be the start of something more serious. Better to be safe than sorry.
