Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com .I have read your query. I understand your concern.
The most likely possibility for bruise leg is unnoticed trauma that leads to collection of blood underneath skin that appears as bluish . It disappears slowly turning little blackish later and ultimately fades away.
still I would advise you to get your Platelet count, Bleeding time / clotting time done.
It wikl rule out any possibility of Bleeding disorder or Clotting disorders.
I hope it helps.
Take care.
