Q: Bruises On My Shins....

Hi, my name is jessica
i am 17.

I am new hear, I am just wondering if anyone can answer my questions. I have looked all over the internet and I can't seem to find an answer.

For about three years I have had faint bruises basically covering my shins and I don't konw what there from. They are not from banging or anything physical. They just always appear. The old ones fade and the new ones come. This has been pretty constant for the past three years. They hurt a little bit and its embarrising. I dont want to show my legs in public.
Also, I am ocd(obsessive compulsive disorder) so I am on a small dose of prozac, that I take daily. Don't know if this helps or not.
I don't know what this could be from. If any of you have any ideas let me know.

Thanks
jessica

Shin brusing eh? Well me being a guy kinda space out sometimes, and by the end of the day I have cuts or bruises, but those are from accidents. Ever hear about mind over matter? Don't think about it and it won't hurt. I guess you bump into things without knowing and then you get hurt without your knowledge. To me it happens once a 2 months.
