A member asked:

Is frequent bruising normal? even in instances where it seems i did not hurt myself? and bruises lasting for two weeks?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Needs evaluation: Frequent bruising may be normal for you. Some people bruise more easily than others. Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as certain health conditions may make bruising more likely. Bruises can take 10-20 days to completely resolve. If you have not been evaluated for this already, you should see a health care professional.

Consult Hematologist: I agree with previous advice about Aspirin and other drugs. What age, sex, hemoglobin level and other health issues? However, I am concerned about bruisability lasting 2 weeks. Number 1 test is what is your "complete blood count" especially platelet count.
