To bother the doctor or not?

My legs, in particular my thighs are covered in large bruises. I think these are occurring from me scratching intensely hot parts of my legs- the heat can be felt through clothes. Once the bruise comes out it is one of those ones which is sore to touch.
This has happened to me intermittently over the last forever and I usually end up with an almost completely purple thigh. I don't know whether it is just one of those things or whether a doctor might have some suggestions? Any ideas?

He was flummoxed so sent me for blood tests to rule stuff out. They took 8 vials of blood! I should get most of the results tomorrow but have to wait 3 weeks for some of them.

Could be erythema nodosum tender bruise like lesions on the skin. Lots of causes and worth a google
