Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

New bruising: Many of us become bruised on shins from minor trauma that we might not be aware of. Are you taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications? Anything which may prevent coagulation? If you have significant new bruising that can't be explained then getting it medically assessed would be prudent.
