What causes a person to bruise easily?

Question

I always find bruises on my legs even though I have not hit them on anything. They are always yellow colour, never black/blue. What is causing this and why are they yellow and not dark? Thanks

Answer 1

Yellow comes after black and blue - so you must be missing them initially. Any way  - bruising is caused by lack of iron, and or low platelets. Both which can be caused by several different conditions.

Answer 2

You might have simple anemia (low iron levels in the blood) which is easily treated through diet or medication.

But see your doctor for a blood test just to rule out something more serious.

The chances are that eating more foods containing iron will stop this happening, but see your doctor anyway.
