Why do I bruise so easily?

Answer by  DavidS (1517)

Some people have soft skin which allows for this. Usually though people that bruise easily are iron deficient. Consult your physician and try adding iron supplements to your daily routine. Also consume a balanced diet of liver,red meat etc. this will also help to raise your iron levels.

If it's only been happening recently, see a doctor it might be a sign of cancer. If it's been through your entire life, it's normal. It's simply how your body is made up (like mine). Your skin is a bit thinner and your veins may be closer to the surface. Try eating right and exercising.

I do not think that something is wrong with you. Maybe your body is just more sensitive than others. Just try to avoid more bruses because it is not very good.

Bruising easily could be a sign of anemia. Anemia is when your red blood cell count is low. Other symptoms of anemia are pale skin color and fatigue. A simple blood test can tell you if you are anemic. You may want to try an iron supplement.
