Brief Answer:
Probably the bruising color can be related to abnormal circulation of blood

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I already reviewed the attached reports.

The bruising color can be related to abnormal circulation of blood.

I would recommend to do some examinations for further evaluation.

I suggest a complete blood count, platelet blood level, coagulation time and hemorrhage time.

Through these examinations we may confirm if you need a specific treatment.

The discoloration of the skin is not a mater of concern in general, it usually goes away on its own.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
