Hello and welcome to HCM,
Random bruising on body can occur due to many reasons.
Vitamin C can cause easy bruising because of lack of collagen network to form a strong framework.
Thus, a weak framework can lead to easy bruising and thus easy bleeding.
Since, you are having easy bruising, vitamin C deficiency deficiency is probably the cause for it.
Vitamin C supplements will help to restore vitamin C levels.
Thanks and take care
