What Causes Reddish Purple Discoloration On The Fingers In A Prothrombin Suffering Person?

To the hematologist, I have prothrombin or whatever it is called.. I had a bad pain for a few minutes on the side of my knuckle yesterday and now it’s reddish purple like a bruise. This morning I swatted my dogs behind (not very hard) for chewing my shoe and I got a bad pain that hurt for a few minutes in my thumb now it has a red-ish purple bruise also..? This is uncommon for me to have this happen. Any idea of what’s going on?

if it's a minor bruise, nothing to worry. if the bruise is increasing r persists kindly get PT and aPTT test done. and meet the physician. Simple analgesic with rest to the part should suffice
