Hello,
There are several medical conditions that can cause bruising without any reason.
It can be due to a low level of platelets or microtrauma.
I would recommend doing a complete blood count to confirm the diagnosis and take proper treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
