Random Bruises?!
Question: Lately i have been noticing random bruises on my legs and arms and i have no clue where they are coming from. They just appear out of nowhere, i dont bump into anything and im not abused and i dont play any sports. So why do you think im getting them? Should i be concerned and maybe see a doctor about it?

it could be lack of iron. it could even be lack of calcium (calcium is used in every step of the clotting process.. and bruises are just bleeding under the skin) could maybe be your thyroid. Prob best to go to the doc, they will do a blood test to test all these things. I just went to the doc for the same problem, all mine were normal (i have a strong family history with thryoid problems so i was a little nervous!)
You probably need more iron in your diet! I used to have this problem (I'd literally wake up with a bruise) and I just added more iron into me and bruises stopped appearing out of nowhere.
You may also have a bleeding disorder. I have Von Willebrands, which means my blood doesn't clot as well as most people, so just a tiny bump can give me a bruise. If it continues, I would go to the doctor, because if you do have a bleeding disorder, it is very important to be diagnosed, so it doesn't cause any problems in the future.
