I'm not a doctor, but I know that leukemia can cause bruising... do you get bruises on places other than your feet too? Maybe try sleeping with your feet slightly elevated so that the blood doesn't pool in your feet. And if you are taking aspirin regularly, stop for a while (aspirin is a blood thinner, so that can sometimes cause blood to leak from capillaries and cause bruising).

Are there any medications you are taking that may be causing this as a side effect?

Cirrhosis also often manifests with bruising and itching of the feet. Do you have any other symptoms, such as change in appetite, nausea, fatigue, swelling, etc?
