What Causes Easy Bruising On The Body?

My 20 year old daughter bruises extremely easily. She has multiple terrible looking bruises at all times. Mostly arms and legs. We have had blood work done which they said came back normal and offered no other possible solutions to this problem. Ideas?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There are many causes for unexplained bruising over the body few are - blood disorder, recurrent injury, and vigorous exercise. As your blood reports are normal the further diagnosis can be made by examining the patient. So, I advise you to consult a physician. Cold compression on the respective areas will help a lot, if bruise is due to exercise then I suggest you to reduce the exercise and take tablet Ibrufen for pain relief.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini
