??? Unexplained bruising ?

[Purple_Popple]

I have been suffering with itchy skin lately, on and off, worse in the evenings when Im relaxing...I start to scratch, mainly my legs though, drives me crazy as no amount of scratching satisfies the itch, now this morning I notices great huge bruises all over my legs !! They are not painful but no idea where they have come from..am also itchy on various other parts of my body, underarms etc,...but seems to be bad on my legs...what could cause this ?? I dont have any allergies...although used to suffer bad uritcaria throughout my teens but seemed to have grown out of that.

by the way, 3000 - 6000mg per day of vitamin c with bioflavanoids (in 500mg doses throughout the day) together with grape seed/pine bark extract (OPCs) is great for preventing bruising. It works by both strengthening and improving flexibility/permeability in the vein/capillary walls. Used consistently, this regimen will take care of the problem pretty well and starts to work pretty quickly. I also find arnica gel extremely effective for getting rid of bruises in less than half time.
