Hello,
Thanks for the query.
You might be having a low platelet count and hence you are developing these bruises.
Get your platelet levels checked.
Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal, 
You can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.
A photograph would have helped me better.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.Let me know if you have any other doubt.you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818Wishing you a good health.Thank you
