Could use expert help with why we get black- and-blue marks as bruises?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
many reasons: Sometimes these are just normal. If you take a baby Aspirin they are more common. If you get a lot of them then you need to see your doctor to make sure there is no problem. Even a slight bruise can cause them sometimes.
