Hi, I suggest you to go for a laboratory blood analysis for complete blood count and platelet count along with bleeding time. There might be some disorder with clotting mechanism causing effortless bruising. Some one can comment on the condition only after these results are obtained. Good luck.

Hello!

Take some ibuprofen to relieve you of the pain. After getting your bleeding time, clotting time and results of other indicators and examination of your bruises some diagnosis can be made.

Rule out also any possible infections and allergies and drug reactions. You should also go for blood uric acid levels to rule out gout.

Take care!
