every night when I sleep I feel very little pinches in both legs and that creates blood in front of my legs.. sometimes 1/2 inch others 1 inch looking very bad... after a week they disappear partially until another pinch and again and again it keeps happening. I put make up so people can not see but I just do not know what causes that. I am 94 years and nothing else its wrong .. I just wonder why?
Please do following tests: platelet count, prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APT). If all these 3 tests are normal, then there is high possibility that, you are suffering from senile purpura. It is just an age related change, which is harmless. It happens because of loss of collagen support to small blood vessels. Please get back with test results. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help. With regards,
