What Causes Bruise On Top Of My Foot?

I woke up this morning with a bruise on top of my foot and I don t believe anything fell on it. A few monthes ago, I did get a half size larger shoe size when I got my keys shoes... from a 7 to 7 1/2... That seemed to help but now as I just finished teaching 2nd grade this school year my feet are bothering me again and now I have a bruise on top of my left foot. Also wearing shoes actually is starting to hurt my feet. Why? What is the cause?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
you might be having a low platelet count and hence you are developing these bruises.
Get your platelet levels, bleeding and clotting time checked.
Sometimes spontaneous bruising might be associated with dangerous systemic conditions.
I suggest you to get a thorough check up done.
Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal,
you can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.
A photograph would have helped me better.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
