Bruise On Abdomen, Itching. What Could It Be? No Injury

I have a small bruise which had a light dry patch that has turned into a faint itchy rash on my upper abdomen on the left side. I have had this now for about 2 weeks. The rash was small at first but has spread out and kinda looks bruised itself now in the area. I have not hurt myself physically so I don t know what it could be and it has me worried. Any ideas?
