General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, you need to have your blood counts done to see for platelets counts as well as clotting profile to rule out blood thinning disorders. Vitamin C and zinc deficiency can also cause easy bruising and if not painful may resolve without medications but cause work up needs to be done. If persist vasculitis profile may be done too.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
