Spontaneous bruising: Spontaneous bruising is very common after 45-50 years of age and also depends upon the skin type. Several medicines are also associated with spontaneous bruising. The uncommon conditions include blood disorders like platelet deficiency, leukemias or bone marrow disorders. If suspicious, he should see a physician and have blood work done.

Agree with Dr. R: Addi-tonal issues could be unrecognized trauma, fragile blood vessels and clotting abnormality. You may watch and wait. If the bruise more than doubles in size, more spontaneous bruises occur, there is weight loss or fever, see a doctor.
