Allergic purpura?: Skin bruise-like bleeding is referred to as "purpura" and when it is combined with allergic rash, "allergic purpura"; this implies that you probably had an allergic reaction to something in your environment (food, clothing, chemical, bug bite etc) which injured your skin capillaries and thus manifested as rash-bruise. Avoid the cause; take an over the counter antihistamine; check with your dr
