Awful unexplained bruising on legs

[prettyprinceofpartiez]

Wondering if anyone has any advice.

I'm 28 so certainly not of a mature age, yet for the past few years, my legs have been bruising so badly after the slightest bumps. Currently I have 18 bruises across both thighs, ranging for larger pitch black ones to smaller purple ones - but I have no recollection of bumping them at all! I never used to have this in my early twenties and making me extremely self conscious and worried about it being a deeper problem. I have thread veins on one thigh which I realise might make this area more prone to bruising.

Is there any cream that will thicken my skin or prevent the clots from forming unnecessarily? Is this something I should go to the GP about as a sign about something else?

I think that's worth a gp trip. Could be nothing but a similar thing happened to my friend and turned out she had an issue with blood clotting and needs extra monitoring if she ever needs an operation/tooth out/giving birth etc.
