Dear patient
Easy bruising from little or no trauma might be due to low platelet count or less clotting factors in blood better known as purpura. Is ot occurring from now only or for long time? There are many types of purpura and you need to be investigated for that. Need to consult haematologist nearby you and get examined to find the cause and treatment.
