Hello,
Bruise are common due to injury - superficial injuring the skin or deep injuring the blood vessels.
If there is no obvious injury Diabetic has to be ruled out.
Many times taking medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, liver ailments, kidney diseases and blood disorders increases chances of sudden bruising. The tabs you are taking are safe.
Consult the Dr and treat.
Best wishes
