What Causes Bruises Below The Belly Button?

I have brusies that just showed up just below my belly button all the way across my lower stomach and down both legs to just above the knees. It started about 2 weeks ago and as they start to fade new ones are showing up. Is this something i should be conserned about? They also hurt to touch.

- Sitz bath with lukewarm water added lavender oil
- Turmeric paste and aloe vera cream application over rashes for faster healing
- Anti-histamine medications as diphenhydramine or cetrizine
- Analgesic as paracetamol or acetaminophen after meals
- Prescription of antibiotic as cephalexin or others
- Anti-fungal as itraconazole or others
- Hydration care with plenty of liquids
