Itchy Areas On Legs, Black Bruises. Blood Work Shows Wbc Tad Off. Allergic To Penicillin. Should I Take More Blood Tests?

Random itchy areas on my legs, it's a new area every day. I do not scratch it hard or apply too much pressure but I keep waking up with huge purple and black bruises on my legs.
I had blood work done once and it said my wbc was a tad off. Could this have something to do with it?
I also do not like meat so I don't get too much iron. Could this affect that as well?

The only allergy I have is penicillin, and amoxicillin. (As well as grass and lotion but I have done nothing different in the past 3 months that could cause a reaction from those two)
Do you think I should get some up to date blood work as this has been occurring for a month or so?

Thanks
