Answer 7

Hm, I'd like to know why.

I bruise really easily too.

If I touch my arm or leg "too hard" (which is barely even pressing), I bruise.

Answer 8

There could be a number of reasons. Bruising is bleeding under you skin so...

1. Your blood could clot more slowly than normal, letting more bleeding occur before sealing the broken blood vessels.

2. If you are on aspirin or blood thinners (more freely flowing blood)

3.  You have paler skin that lets bruising show through more clearly

4. A genetic disorder (such as Willebrand or Haemophillia)

BUT....

According to the "better health" source listed below.  Many patients bruise easily without any known medical cause.

So I would worry too much.

Answer 9

Women bruise more easily than men, especially from minor injuries on the thighs, buttocks, and upper arms.
