Maybe you should get a Platelet count or bring it to your doctor's attention. I was dx with ITP in 2015 because of being covered with bruises & my platelet count was 8000. I was dx with Fatty Liver & Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency in 2017. My liver lady said a lot of people with liver issues have low platelet counts. Good luck.

When my platelet count drops, I bruise easy. Stress does that at times. Please get checked out, to be on the safe side. Positive thoughts for you!
