How can I get a small bruise when there was no impact at all?

Answers:

Everyone gets bruises, however some things add to the unexplained bruises. Here are some things that make you more likely to bruise, they are not necessarily bad but they have been proven to make one bruise easily.

1) lack of red blood cells (anemia), this usually stems from a vitamin deficiency. A simple solution for this is to take a daily multivitamin.

2) When exercising vigorously, you are less likely to notice small pains. This is known as the gateway effect of the spinal cord. The spinal cord is flooded with nerve impulses and ignores some less important ones on there way to the brain, they may show up later, and make the bruise "hurt" or irritatedted.

3) Fat absorbs impact, and therefor skinny people bruise more easily.

4) Older people will also bruise easier. The skin thins as we age and blood vessels become increasingly fragile.

5) Certain medicines will increase the likely hood of bruising. Including: Aspirin, Ibuprofen, birthcontrol, etc.

6) When we need to worry is if you have a bleeding condition. many are listed on http://www.drdonnica.com/faqs/00009483.h… such as liver or kidney disease; blood disorders, such as hemophilia, platelet dysfunction, thrombocytopenia, leukemia, and multiple myeloma; connective tissue disorders including scurvy, Marfan's syndrome, and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome may all cause easy bruisability. Please consult your physician if you have any of the above.


All in all from a psychology stand point bruising is essential for survival, damaged areas will inflame and fill with blood to provide nutrients and repair the area.

A pinch can leave a bruise -- all you need is enough pressure to break a few blood vessels under the skin. With some people, and in some locations, it doesn't take much!
