Get a recheck: Bruising means bleeding under the skin. There are many possible causes for it. You should go see your doctor who can check your CBC(complete blood count) and rule out any serious causes like Leukemia or any other disease like Leukemia which can affect(decrease) your platelet count or impair your platelet function (taking Aspirin is one such drug that can cause bruises due to platelet malfunction).
