Unexplained bruising all over my legs? PHOTO

For the past 5 months i have had persistent itching all over but particularly my legs and about 2 weeks ago i woke up with my legs covered in bruises. They are spreading and i have also noticed small bumps on my legs. I have also been really tired, have no energy and have had menstrual bleeding for 7 weeks now.

I don't think its bites as my husband and son don't have any marks or itches. I am quite worried as cancer runs in my family a lot! Including Lymphomas and Leukemia.

I have already had my bloods done and they came back normal so what else could it be??

Thanks so much in advance.

Have you been checked for Hepatitis C? I've had it for over 30 years and I aways have unexplained bruising and itch alot. You get to where you bruise so easy your legs could be like that just from scratching. The itching is caused by your liver not being able to filter out the toxins in your blood as well, so they are released into the pores of your skin.
