i have a few on each shin, been there for a long time
they don't hurt at all
is this caused by babesia?

I've had a few also and have wondered what caused them. My guess was babesia also, but don't know for sure.

Babesia can cause some ugly blue purple bruises.

Check out erythema nodosum. These are small bumps under the skin,

I used to get these a lot and the bumps/bruises lasted for a long time.

Maybe bartonella too. That causes tons of weird skin things.
