Need Evaluation: Bruising may be a sign of an underlying problem, especially if not caused by trauma. Usually suggests that there is a problem in blood clotting system. May mean not enough platelets, or that your platelets aren't functioning, or that there is some other problem with your blood clotting. Leukemia is one possible explanation for this but could be meds, drugs, alcohol, liver problems. Need blood test.
