Why am I bruising so easily?

Question

Recently, I have been bruising really easily. Even a minor scratch from my dog turned into a nasty bruise. Am I lacking some vitamin?

Answer 1

Sounds like you are in need of iron. You may heard the term anemic? I would go see your doctor, this can become a huge problem if not treated properly.

Answer 2

you could have low iron. Lack of iron causes you to bruise easily. I would go to your doctor to have your iron tested. it's a very easy thing to test for.

Answer 3

You should see your doctor.  It could be something as simple as a vitamin deficiency or something more serious.

A friend of mine had the same problem and finally went to the doctor and it was a form of cancer.  They were better able to control it b/c it was found early on.  So don't put it off go get checked  out, and if it's nothing great, if it's something at least you know and can get immediate help!

Answer 4

Go and see a doctor or nurse,maybe you need a multi vitamin or a change of diet.
