Accepted Answer

Bruises redux: If you have no medical cause or reason for bruising, realize that these types of bruises we usually see you around the dorsal arms, and are due to aging. Sometimes sunlight exposure will cause a thing of the skin on the arms and i breakage of the small supportive collagen bundles which act like railroad ties and which holds the blood vessels intact. If you are aging and have a bruise and know that.

Question 3

do lots of people get easy bruising, or is it unusual?

It can be unusual: Many people feel they bruise easily, but in fact are simply noticing bruising more than usual. If there is indeed excessive bruising from minimal trauma, or bruising in an usual area, then that could be a sign of an underlying disorder, which is unusual.

Question 5

Question 6

my doctors always tell me i have low iron level.. i guess that's where all my easy bruising comes from. how do i get the iron levels up ?

Accepted Answer

Foods & Supplements: Plenty of sites list iron-rich foods. Some also say which are easiest for your body to make use of. Iron supplement pills are also available and some processed foods advertise that they are iron fortified. If you want to, it should be easy to increase your levels unless there is something else wrong. Don't worry - it's not likely, but if you really try and fail - ask your doctor for ideas.

Question 7

hello, i noticed i small bruise on the back of my leg that is kind of sore and is a yellowish color. i forgot how i hit it. i noticed a small somewhat firm lump under the skin. i was just seeing if thats normal. i get anxious easy. thanks?

Accepted Answer

: This is evidence of traumatic bleeding and the lump under the bruise is a blood clot ( hematoma). The yellowish hue means breakdown of blood products and the bruise.is days old. This type of clot isn't dangerous as it doesn't travel. Applying heat for 20 minutes every few hours may hasten the dissolving of the clot. Occasionally the clots turn very hard&amp; are tender and require removal by a surgeon

Question 8

what blood tests to get for neuropathy symptoms, easy bruising, small red spots on body, fatigue, ana negative test, full blood test fine, copper fine, hbac1 fine, kidney and liver fine, vits and min fine,needing speciality blood test recommendations?

Accepted Answer

: Can you describe your neuropathic symptoms (feeling, location, diurnal change, etc.) and the red spots (size, flat or raised lesions, location, change with temperature, etc.). By your statement, it seems that you have had a thorough works-up so I wonder what specialists have seen you for the condition and how long you have had these symptoms and what is the initial symptom. Take care.

Question 9

what is the fastest way to get rid of bruises from being spanked?

Accepted Answer

Cold compress: Followed by warm compress.  For the first 4-6 hours, put cold compress to reduce bleeding and swelling, after 24 hours use warm compresses to facilitate removal of exudate.  If spanking is part of abuse, you need to report it to authorities.

Question 10

i'm 56 why do i bruise so easy?

Accepted Answer

Maybe aspirin: BROADLY speaking, abnormal bleeding or bruising is due to (1) abnormality of soluble clotting factors (e.g., Von Willebrand's disease), (2) abnormality of platelet number or function (e.g., aspirin effect on platelet function), or (3) abnormality of capillaries.  Whole books are written on the subject. You should see a hematologist for evaluation. It may be due to the aspirin you take.
