Hello,
Bruising without an apparent history of trauma could be due to medications that affect blood clotting like Aspirin, Warfarin, etc., or it could be due to problems with blood clotting like platelet deficiency, coagulation factor deficiency, etc. You will need to undergo investigations to look for blood count, bleeding time, clotting time, and coagulation factor level.
Please be advised to follow-up with our primary care provider to undergo necessary evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
