OK this is just weird!

Last week, my little guy came home on 2 different days w/ a pin hole mark on his taekwondo pants and blood spots everywhere (white pants...ugh!). We've been searching for the culprit there ever since.

Last night, it got ME! I didn't notice, so it didn't hurt, but someone said, "HEY You're bleeding!" I look down and saw a pretty big trickle of blood on my foot coming from the outside of my leg (thank goodness it wasn't anything girlie OMG) . I went into the bathroom to check it out and followed it all the way up to my upper thigh. Lots of blood. I scrubbed away the mess to find a teeny tiny hole they size that a thumb tack would make on the outside of my thigh and the darn thing would NOT stop bleeding! I pulled up the drawers and got a bandaid, buy the time I got back to the bathroom it was running all the way down my leg again. By the time I got home, the bandaid was soaked through and I went through 3 more and a yucky wash cloth trying to make this thing stop. Finallly I put an enormous size bandage on it stuffed w/ cotton balls and it finally stopped, like an hour after it happened. I woke up in the morning and saw that the bandage was soaked through again. I took it off and it started bleeding all over again like it had just happened. Is there anything dietwise that would act like an anticlotting agent or could I just have hit a wierd vein really close to the surface or something. It's stopped now, but I found the whole thing so strange because it's only a dot.

Extra info: Not taking any medication and I am a vegetarian.

Sounds like a vitamin K deficiency to me.

This is my basic diet being a vegetarian....hmmm

Ask your Doctor about it?

Don't be worried it's prob nothing like this. Maybe you did get pricked somewhere...

I forget the name but there is this blood condition that runs in my family, I have seen a few of them, and my mom and Grandma get them (well no longer grammie, she past) but anywho, they're like a tiny lil pin prick looking dot of blood that sometimes surfaces in the weirdest areas, tip of the finger's, insides of your mouth, nose, other places. I get them on my arms, stomach, legs sometimes. They stay for a long time, they can really be painful at times or not, and most times they bleed, when they do, they bleed a lot.

I also have yearly physical's & my blood is checked. Nothing has ever come up pertaining this. I've talked to my Doctor about it, and she doesn't seem concerned with it. Maybe a new Doctor..lol, nah she's pretty good most of the time.
