Hello,

I am sorry for the problems you are facing. Indeed, bruising without a known traumatic cause is a reason for concern, and requires immediate medical attention. So, to me, you should see your primary care physician first, get a good physical examination, and send for a few lab tests. Depending on the findings, we can decide for best treatment strategy.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
