Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through the mentioned details but an image would be helpful. You can upload one using the facility on the upper right of this page. In absence of trauma, it could be due to a clotting irregularity. Getting the platelet count done would be the first investigation to be done. If normal, the entire coagulation profile needs to be checked.
