Hi,
You have not mentioned the age you run. The ecchymosis occurring frequently may be due to old age if you are after 50. If you are young, the blood tests may be done to find out some cause like bleeding disorders. For that,you consult the dermatologist for examination and investigations.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
