In a condition known as purpura simplex, there is a tendency to bruise easily due to an increased fragility of the blood vessels.
The use of ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen (Aleve) may lead to increased bruising. Aspirin, antidepressants, asthma medications, and cortisone medications also have this effect.
There are a number of diseases that cause excessive bleeding or bleeding from injuries too slight to have consequences in healthy people. An abnormal tendency to bleed may be due to hereditary bleeding disorders, certain prescription medications, diseases of the blood such as leukemia, and diseases that increase the fragility of blood vessels. If there are large areas of bruising or bruises develop very easily, this may herald a problem. Other causes that should be ruled out include liver disease, alcoholism, drug addiction, and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Bruising that occurs around the navel may indicate dangerous internal bleeding; bruising behind the ear, called Battle's sign, may be due to a skull fracture; and raised bruises may point to autoimmune disease.
giving any child under the age of 21 could be fatal and i strongly recommended you never give your child aspirin again without the express permission of your Doctor under his supervision ONLY! and never, ever given if a child has a fever.
other then that tidbit she could be anemic, as aspirin is a blood thinner that sounds about right..
Link below to why aspirin is bad for kids.
Maybe. Check with your family doctor. Especially if she hasn't had a check up in a while. There could be any number of reasons, some being little or nothing, and others being a bigger deal. My friend's daughter started with lots of bruising under the skin, and found she had an autoimmune disease. Is fine now, but there was a case of why to ask the doctor.
Ecchymoses from alcoholism.
By the way, how old is your daughter?
Anemia causes someone to bruise very easily. Try starting her on a low dose of iron supplements. ( after consulting your doctor)
