What Causes Unexplained Large Bruise On Skin?
Question: Hi. I inquired the other day about a large bruise that appears with no memory of injury. That is the center bruise in the photo. Yesterday, a second bruise appeared just below the first one, again no memory of injury. And now again today, there is yet another new bruise above the original one.
the third bruise is hard to see but I've checked it to show location.
I am wondering if the first bruise could have caused the others somehow or if there is any other explanation besides forgotten injuries to those areas.

Brief Answer:
Long term standing will not lead to bruises.
Detailed Answer:
Hello again,
Long term standing will not lead to bruises.
You may need blood investigation to know for any internal bleeding.
As I said you may need to rule out allergic reaction also.
