Hello,
Bruises all over the body can be due to disorder of coagulation and / or platelets. I suggest you to consult a hematologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations like platelet count, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
