Hey,
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.

Please be free to contact me if you need any other help. Best of luck :D

In theory, there are no health risks that arise from the bruising itself. However, if the bruises were due to the blood thinning, or drugs or even some type of surgical procedures, then yes. In which case, you'd likely be given vitamin C or K.

If you go to a vitamin shoppe or a health food store, you can get Arnica cream which is used to heal bruises.
