General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Sudden unexplained bruising can be due to various reasons. It's not necessarily due to trauma or scratching. However, there are following possibilities you should consider:
1) It can be benign.
2) It can be due to a hypersensitivity reaction.
3) It can be due to underlying bleeding disorder since they cause purpuric spots which appear out of nowhere in the skin due to underlying bleed.
4) It can be due to medications which cause thinning of blood too.

A Dermatologist or a Physician will help you to identify the cause with further history and examination.

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

Regards,
Dr. Moses John Wesley,
