Blood disorder????

my 4 yo has been getting spontaneous bruising to his legs mainly but is also happening on his arms and back, they look like he is being poked but he isnt, they come and go, he also has a history of erythema nodosum and has been recently been diagnosed with a lipoma.. i have an appointment friday with my local gp and am hoping to get a blood test done has anyone been in a similar situation or can shed any light on my situation.... also no these are not every day kid bruises he also has those all over his legs too.....

Blood disorder????
With erythema nodosum, a collagen vascular problem may exist and he may have a mild thrombocytopenia (low platelets).The lipoma is probably a red herring .
