I'm freaking out. Bruising and swollen armpits

Generally tired anyway, I'm a shift worker so that's life I guess.

3 months ago I went to the gp with bruising and completely feeling exhausted.

Start on folic acid,

This week I feel horrendously drained.

This unexplained bruise has popped up and seems to be spreading (pic attached) and under my left armpit is sore and swollen,

I'm on a run of nights, so by the time I finish it's too late to start the whole saga of trying to get through to the GP at 8am...

But I stupidly googled

(I know, I should know better!)

Bruise is on the inside of my left and started by my knee. Not somewhere you can easily accidentally bang/knock, but I do bruise easily anyway, it's the red/ purple spots that's baffling me and how it's getting bigger each day,

I know I need to go to the gp. Will be doing Friday.

Any ideas? Anyone else had this?

Did you have bloods done at the GP when you had bruising and tiredness?

Best thing you can do is see your doctor as soon as possible, which looks like you’re doing.
