Hello,
The problem that you are facing seems to be due to fragile blood vessels, this could either be due to swelling in the blood vessels or any other systemic problem.
I would recommend a few blood tests, please get BT, CT, prothrombin time, liver function tests and Ana, meanwhile apply ice packs on the contusions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
