What Causes Severe Bruising Due To Minor Injuries?
Good evening, I bruise pretty badly mostly my legs. I have always bruised badly dark large spots that are sometimes painful to touch with lumps inside them. I am healthy, 31 no health issues other than low iron all my life except last medical visit I had to high of iron over the normal range. No thyroid issues, I am only on the depo shot for about 10 years. I literally bruise if I bump into something, please help! YYYY@YYYY

Hello,
Have you done a blood smear test? Usually contusion and bruising may be due to platelet count being less. Do a CBC/Blood bleeding time and clotting time. Review with report.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. C. Elanchezhian, General & Family Physician
