Hi,
Welcome to the HCM
There are different factors,which can cause bruises.For example, decreased platelates level,deranged clotting factors,allergic condition ,fungal infection and
insect bites ,or side effects of any medicines.
From your history like (quater size bruises) with white spot in the middle ,it seems it could be because of allergy or side effect of any medicine ,if you are taking any.Well these bruises have to be seen by dotor first to conclude any reason.Else you may upload the pics here and discuss further.
