Get checked: There's probably nothing wrong, but a few simple blood tests can tell you and your doc that you just bruise easily. Get checked.

Go see your doctor: First, stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, Naproxen etc if you do. If that's not enough, then go see your doctor for testing & tell him/her about your concerns. Also, check any blood in urine & stool? Do your eyes "bleed"? I mean do whites of eyes turn solid red? How heavy are your periods? Nosebleeds? We'll need to check your blood counts & tendency to bleed.

Bruise easily: You may just want to check your platelets, bleeding & clotting time. Also the family history and drug history. Observe what you had been eating lately or taking a product over the counter. Please see your doctor to get all these done. Thanks.
