Detailed answer...
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understood your concern.
The most common causes for bruising in a person are injury and old age,but since you are young and you are not giving any history of injury,then other causes should be looked into.
These causes could be...
Overuse of medications like aspirin,painkillers,herbal supplements,birth control pills etc.
Diseases of blood like thrombocytopenia or haemophilia
Liver,kidney,thyroid disorders etc
Nutritional deficiencies like VIT B,VIT C,VIT K etc.
You need to consult your doctor and get necessary blood work done to find the exact cause.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
