Hi,

Sorry not to be more helpful, but there are sooo many different causes for bruising.
I probably don't know half of them.

Are you on any anti blood clotting medication, like warfarin?
Have you been any more, or less, active lately?
Can you remember anything that might have caused the bruising?

Any recent med changes ?
Do you recall banging or knocking area's bruised of late ?

It would be helpful if you can link anything possible to these .

Maybe you need to check for anemea. If your iron levels are low this can cause bruising.
