Doctor visit: You need to see a physician for a good physical exam and possibly blood work. Make sure you tell the doc about any medicine you may be taking, be it prescribed or over the counter.

Get a medical check : You need to see a doctor to examine you. A blood test can find out if you ahve any blood disease to explain bruises that you have noticed. The blood test that you should do is called a CBC which includes blood counts of white cells, platelets and hemoglobin. If the CBC is normal, you can be sure that you do not have leukemia. Moreover leukemia does not run in the families.
