I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
There are many causes of random bruise on arms and legs.

Common cause are unnoticed injuries, stertorous exercise, deficiency of vitamin C, B12 or iron, clotting disorder, diabetes, blood thinner medicine etc.

You should go for complete blood count, blood sugar level, vitamin b12 level and coagulation profile. This will help you to find the major causes of bruise.
