Thigh discoloration/bruising: What could it be?

I wasn't entirely sure which category this issue falls under, so I'll just start with this title...

Basically—I've started noticing these strange spots on my thigh. They look like a cluster of little blotches all in one area, almost like a bad skin reaction to some kind of product, though I'm fairly certain that isn't the case.
I did wonder if it might be a side effect from medication, seeing as I've been feeling pretty under the weather for a few days now. But there’s also this aching in my legs—it's definitely more pronounced in this specific leg—and I can't rule out the possibility that I picked up the flu, given that I haven't been able to break my fever for five whole days.
The pain is... well, it's odd. It feels sort of like my circulation has just completely cut off.
Honestly, this whole situation on my leg is getting a bit unsettling and, frankly, quite annoying.🤣

If anyone happens to have any idea what could be causing this...
Is it possible that it's a reaction to my meds, or maybe—just maybe—could it be from constantly resting my laptop on my lap? That particular spot seems to be right where the base of the computer gets the hottest.

It could also be a side effect from medication. What are you currently taking?

And honestly, keeping a laptop on your lap is probably doing you no favors. It can cause burns. The issue is that sometimes you don't even realize how much heat is actually transferring to your body, and it gets pretty intense. So, that might be part of the problem too. Put the laptop on a desk!

I haven't even touched anything outside my usual routine—honestly, just some Advil and maybe a little Tylenol at most
