What to do if i have a reoccuring bruise on my kneecap, why?

Activity related: First is to consider whether there is any regular activity you do which could be causing this (i.e. Having to work on your knees, or playing soccer, etc). Next, you may need evaluation for a possible bleeding disorder which could explain your recurring problem.
