Probably not: This sounds quite normal and occurs to many people due to inadvertent trauma that may not even be noticed. Mention this to your family doctor next time you are in for a checkup, but suspect they will tell you the same thing. Best wishes.

Need a blood count: While sometimes aleve (naproxen) or Aspirin can cause bruising from minor bummps that you don't notice, you should go to your doctor or a clinic, where you can obtain a blood count, to be sure that your blood cells and platelets are normal and a test of blood clotting, to be sure that it is also normal.
