I think that you should consult a doctor and discuss with him your worries about this, and he might give you medications, like some kind of ointments or creams, and you could even regularly follow up with him, because seriously, maybe after time,these bruises could progress and get really bad, and imagine if it wouldn't allow you later on to be able to play anymore, I'm really not trying to scare you or anything, but you really never know, and i don't know how bad the bruises are, So you have to be on the safe side. And we can't recommend any type of medication cause we don't have a proper diagnosis.
