Brief Answer:
Platelet count, BT, CT, PT and aPTT required to know the cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query on HealthcareMagic.
Bruising on legs and breast can occur one of the following conditions:
Trauma
Platelet disorder
Coagulation factor deficiency or disorder
Vessel wall disorder
Since, there is no history of trauma, other factors have to be considered.
I suggest you to get some investigations to know the exact cause of these symptoms.
You may get a platelet count, bleeding time (BT), clotting time (CT), prothrombin time (PT)and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT).
Please post the results of these investigations for interpretation.
Thanks and take care
