So i have no animals. I would wake up abd there would be scratches on my leg arms and face, i have no long finger nails. What could this be??
Hello,
Your scratches could be a pressure urticaria (hives). Common causes of a pressure urticaria include vitamin B12 or folic acid or a vitamin K deficiency. You could have deep vein thrombosus or clotting problems. High blood pressure can be another cause. Some people get large bruise areas that occur when they are asleep with a pressure urticaria. You really need to see a doctor and get approper diagnosis as your scratches can have serious consequences. I would set up an appointment as soon as possible. If you have vitamin deficencies, that's easy enough to correct. High blood pressure, deep vein thrombosis and clotting problems are another matter and require proper medical attention.
I have nights where I wake up with scratches all over myself. And one night I believe I woke up scratching my face. What could cause this? Why am I doing this?
