Hi,
After reading your query I can understand your sufferings bruise problem. You can go for simple blood tests such as bleeding time, clotting time and platelet count. If these are normal then there is no need to worry. For the red marks to you can apply cortisone cream and take benadryl by mouth.

Most of the bruise do not last longer than 3 weeks. It may change color from black to yellowish green. Do not pinch or scratch the area as it may cause further problems. If these are recurring then can meet dermatologist for best management.
