Is random bruising something i should worry about?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: It is fairly common to have bruising on your shins, lower arms and the boney prominences of your back due to trauma. If you are having unexplained bruising in other places, bleeding from gums or nose, fatigue, bone pain fevers etc. , I would definitely see a physician.

Yes: Needs evaluation. Where are the bruises? Full history and exam. Any known medical issues? Any family history? Any medications, aspirin? Kids? Unsuspected trauma? Happening when?
