I had blood work 6 weeks ago all was good the doctor said. recently ive been getting bruises am unaware of hitting anything my doc said to not worry as all my blood work was great worried its leukemia can it develop that fast if cbc was good age 51?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy bruising: Other factors that lead to easy bruisability are very thin skin, vitamin C deficiency and the taking of aspirin or other anti-inflammatory medication like Aleve or taking actual anticoagulants. Your normal cbc and differential cell count would rule out leukemia and platelet deficiency.
