Are Bruises Throughout The Body Signs Of An Allergic Reaction?
Over the past four weeks, I have had bruises appear, first on my upper left buttock. A week later, bruises appeared on my lower abdomen, between the area of the pelvic bones. I have one on my upper left thigh, and new ones are now beginning to appear on the right side of the middle of my back. I haven t been in any accidents or fallen (the only thing that has changed in my life recently is the adoption of two dogs). Could it be some kind of allergic reaction to something?

Hello,
The bruise could not be due to an allergic reaction. First of all kindly post photo of a lesion to check whether it is a bruise or some purpura.
I suggest you investigate with CBC, PT, APTT, BT testing for primary workup of coagulation study.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
