HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Unexplained bruises may be due to abnormalities in the platelet count or other aspects of the blood that are involved in clotting.
If the parts of the blood that are involved in clotting are not working as they should or their levels are low, then this can lead to bruising.
This can also occur if there are vasculitis or inflammation of the blood vessel.
I hope this helps
