General Q and A Answer A8863
Hi,
Welcome to the ehealthforum and I am glad to help you out.

Your concern is regarding the easy bruisability that you are having. Anemia and deficiency of vitamins C, K, B12, or folic acid are the common causes of easy bruisability. Try taking iron tablets and multivitamins for awhile and see if the symptoms improve.

If the symptoms do not improve, get yourself evaluated by a physician. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For an exact diagnosis, you are advised to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
