Hello and welcome to HCM,

I read your query and understood your concern.

Unexplained/ mysterious bruising can be due to a various of reasons, most commonly blood disorders, long standing diabetes or nutritional deficiency.

Consult a physician and get complete blood work up done for thrombocytopenia (decrease in platelets) and clotting factor's deficiency.

Get Blood sugar tested to rule out diabetes.

Sometimes nutritional deficiencies, which may cause unexplained bruises. Supplement your diet with vitamin C, B complex, vitamin K and minerals tablets.

Once the cause is determined the treatment proceeds as per the underlying cause.
