What Causes Recurring Bruises On My Lower Left Leg?

I have recurring bruises on my lower left leg, along the crease of my knee and along the shin. I have not injured this leg recently. The bruises heal and reappear about a week later. I do have iron deficiency due to lack of iron in my diet but no bleeding I am aware of. What might be causing these bruises?
