Q: I have been bruising easily ever since I can remember. ((though I often was in accidents as a child. I was electrocuted by accident when I was three, while plugging a scented glade thing in the wall). but I have noticed I can just be moving about and notice a bruise and not know how I got it. I often get them on my arms and legs. but I can never figure out or remember how I got them. sometimes they fade quickly other times it takes a while. But I want to be sure its nothing bad so I can stop worrying. My mother was easily bruised as well, so my grandfather says.

A: Bruises are caused from trauma to your Blood vessels and capillaries in your body. As the injury heals, your bruises will change colour.You could have a Vitamin C and/or Bioflavanoid Deficiency. Bioflavanoids [also called Falvonoids or Vitamin P] are found in Fruits/Vegetables – they make the bright colours! Bioflavanoids increase the action of Vitamin C so they should be taken together. These two Vitamins strengthen the walls of the microscopic blood vessels/capillaries in your body. Another reason you are bruising easily could be from Von Willebrands Disease. This basically means your blood doesn’t clot as easily and can also cause excessive bleeding. This Disease affects around 1% of the population, so the chances of you having this Disease are slim-to-none. If the bruises are showing up in strange, unexposed areas like your feet or inner-arms for example, this is a sign of Von Willebrands.Are you skinny? Thinner people tend to Bruise easily because it’s easier to damage the vessels.Xx.
