Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The spontaneous appearance of the bruise without any history of injury could be related to a blood disorder, recent viral illness, etc. This needs a few blood tests for confirmation of diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal
