Hello,
Thanks for your query.

I go through you query.

Dont worry.

I think your condition occurs due your age. Because elderly skin become thinner and prone to develop bruise in minor trauma.

Possibilities of this type of condition are-
1.Platelet disorder
2.Bleeding disorder
3.Elderly

My advise is visit a doctor.
Do blood test to exclude the other causes.

you can try cold compression, give rest, if pain use painkiller like aceclofenac, ketorolac etc.

I think it will help you.
Wish your good health

With regards
Dr. Atique
