In the midst of the progress of modern sophisticated civilization, Indonesian society is still thickly enveloped by various kinds of beliefs and myths that have occult smells. One of them is the phenomenon of bruising that suddenly appears on the skin and without any apparent reason. He said, this is because you are "licked by the devil." Eits, wait a minute. This "occult" phenomenon can be explained simply in the medical world. Check out the explanation below, without needing feathers to cringe in fear
Not because of being licked by a demon, this is the reason why the skin can suddenly bruise
These bruises due to 'licked devils' appear as tiny purple spots just below the surface of the skin, which often arise in the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms. In the medical world, sudden bruising that appears for no apparent reason is called purpura simplex. This is a very common thing.
Even if you don't hit or fall, purpura simplex can still occur anytime and anywhere. Because the "miraculous" bruise is caused by the rupture of small blood vessels that are indeed fragile. The rupture of these blood vessels then causes blood to pool just below the skin. Even so, it is not known exactly what can cause blood vessel rupture and how it can occur.
Purpura simplex is more common in women due to the influence of hormones. Therefore, the bruises that are said to be 'licked by the devil' are also frequentappear together with the menstrual cycle or when your body is very tired. Skin that is easily bruised can also be affected by blood clotting work that doesn't work well.
Trarely too, there are some serious health conditions that can be the cause of sudden bruising in your body. Examples are hemophilia and thrombocytopenia. Hemophilia is a rare hereditary disease that causes blood to be very difficult to freeze due to lack of certain types of protein. Meanwhile, thrombocytopenia is a blood disorder that causes the body to lack blood clots (platelets). This condition can be caused by various things, such as anemia, viral infection, excessive alcohol consumption, leukemia, chemotherapy drugs, pregnancy, and heredity.
Consumption of certain drugs can cause bruising to suddenly appear
Bruises on the body that appear suddenly for no apparent reason are not caused by "demon licks" or other spirits. But if you don't experience or have one of the risk factors above, bruising can occur whenYou are taking certain drugs, for example aspirin, warfarin, clopidogrel, and prasurgel, which are blood thinners which can increase blood circulation. Heavy flowing blood can inflate blood vessels so that they rupture and develop bruises.
Is this condition dangerous?
The good news is that you don't need to rush to visit "smart people" so "licked by the devil." Purpura simplex is a medical condition that is harmless and can go away without treatment (if it is not related to other diseases, yes).
But it's a good idea to check and consult a doctor about sudden onset of bruising, especially if it appears quite often. Your doctor may prescribe you a corticosteroid drug. This drug can help increase platelet counts in the blood. After your platelet count returns to a normal amount. Usually after taking this medicine, 2-6 weeks later the bruise will disappear.
