Unexplained bruising

hello,

a month or so ago I noticed a had a lot of bruises all over my legs although I hadn't bashed myself. I went to see the doctor about it and had a basic blood test which came back as normal except for a very slightly low number of platelets but not enough to explain bruising according to doc.

I then had another more specific blood test and results came back and platelets are slightly lower still but still not much.
The bruises have been coming and going but I've got quite a lot right now, something like twenty smallish ones on both my legs, including a couple of big one but also on my arms now.

I had a brief moment a few weeks ago where I felt very tired and achy for a few days but I feel quite normal now.I also had one of the bigger bruises that appeared first as a lump, but with no marking and then turned into a bruise as the lump disappeared.

That's it really, sorry it's very confused!
Probably nothing but I do keep wondering whenever I see my bruises! Any ideas at what could cause this?
