There are lot of medical conditions which can present with unexplained bruising over the body.It is very important primarily to get complete blood profile with platelet count,PT,PTT,BT,CT,clotting factors...Just to make sure there is no underlying bleeding disorder.There are certain conditions like gardner diamond syndrome which can also present with similar bruising.The aged people can have similar bruising called senile purpura.
