What Causes Purple Bruise On The Left Leg?

My entire left leg is purple and yellow from bruising. It doesn t hurt. There s red bumps all over, not razor burn. I haven t shaved in a month. It s a little swollen and I have about 5 more big bruises all over. What s causing it? Could it be a blood clot?
