Probably spider bite, I suggest you to go to the emergency room.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

I think that you are bitten by a spider.
There are some spider bites that cause vascular toxicity and affect coagulation.
This is why you see bruises in different parts of the body.
I suggest you to go to the emergency room for proper treatment.
Meanwhile, some advices that I can give to you:
-take an antihistamine tablet
-put cold compresses
-clean the area to prevent other infections.

Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
