Hi,

Noted your history of easy bruising on face and arms, development of a large lump from where the blood was removed, blood sent for tests by your Physician, easy bruises for several months.
It is obvious from your history that there is some problem with blood coagulation, bleeding and so on.
This is very important to get the exact cause.
This is possible by your detailed history, proper investigations and proper management as per hte cause found.
I would also advise you the basic investigations of bleeding and clotting times that are done on the spot on your finger, needs your presence as preserved blood sample can not show these.
Prothrombine time, coagulation factors and so on.
Hence you should also consult a Hematologist to go into detailed as discussed to get an appropriate diagnosis and get treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
