Blood platlets: Dysfunction or low platlets counts would be a cause, kindly see your doctor for evaluation and possible blood work, goodluck

Spontaneous : bruising is a sign that your friend needs to see her doctor straight away for diagnosis & treatment. All you can do is encourage her to call her doctor tomorrow.
