Fast bruising: Unexplained bruising is a concerning condition and should be evaluated by a physician as soon as possible. Medications that increase bruising, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen etc. as well as certain supplements such as Omega-3 fish oils, garlic, St. Johns Wort, etc should not normally be taken when a person has unexplained bruising or bleeding.
