I keep getting little bruises that I don't know where they came from?

Question

I have had about 3 in the past 2 weeks on my arms and legs. I am exercising a lot lately and losing weight, i don't know if that has anything to do with it. Why would i be getting these bruises all of a sudden?

Answer 1

Have you made any recent diet changes? You might not be getting enough vitamins. I started taking a multivitamin everyday and I no longer bruise like a peach. I used to bruise all the time for no good reason.  

Answer 2

You can smack a leg or an arm on a hard surface, and then forget all about it.  Unless you hit yourself really hard or nail pain nerve, a hit might not be memorable. I do it a lot, and since it didn't hurt very much, I forgot about it, and like you, wondered where the bruises came from.
