I get green spots on my skin from time to time. i bruise easily. i take iron then spots go away. what should i say to my doctor or google in meantime?

"I bruise easily": And that would be the explanation. If you have a condition that predisposes you to bleeding under the skin, then you would need to watch your blood counts (hemoglobin/hematocrit) always. Iron is a supplement to increase the number of red blood cells the bone marrow makes to replace dead blood cells.
