A lot of bruises.

[Kari7171]

I have been noticing lately that I have been getting a lot of bruises. I do bump my legs sometimes but I have never had this many bruises before. I also have a problem where I will get a blood blister in my mouth for no reason at all. What could all of this mean?

i would see a doc. There are many conditions that can cause bruising.

i bruise easily and it's lack of vit. c in my case. If i remember to take it (one 500 mg.) i don't bruise so easily.

lack of C, immune deficiency and collagen dysfuction are just a few of the causes for easy brusing. I agree, you might be wise to get checked to rule out anything serious.

Yup, go see the doctor, they'll draw blood, and should find the answer. It can be something very simple, but it can also be some very serious things, so don't put it off.
