Bruising: Do you take a daily Aspirin or nsaid? It also depends on your age and what meds you currently take. If nothing else, and your concerned, i would see my friendly primary care doctor for a further evaluation and work up.

Bruising: Do you take Aspirin or blood thinners? Some medications cause easier bruising. Could also be a problem with a clotting issue or anemia. I would address this with your primary care doctor who can run some blood tests to make sure everything is okay. If nothing else, it will provide reassurance.
