Does Purpura Cause Bruising In Lower Arms And Legs?

I have been bruising very easily.Mostly my lower arms and legs. I researched it on line and it does resemble purpura. Just a rub can result in brusing which takes weeks to go away. I am not on any blood thinning meds and do not take aspirin. Can you give me a cause and/or treatment?
