"Certain medical conditions such as bleeding disorders can also lead to more generalized or excessive bruising. People with these conditions bruise easily and more than normal. Some possibilities include hemophilia (genetic disease) and the lesser known and often undiagnosed Von Willebrand's disease. Any unexplained bruising needs medical investigation."

Sounds like you might be anemic. You are iron deficient and lacking iron causes bruises. Being deficient in vitamins and minerals can cause a ton of ailments. Simply have a CBC ( complete blood count) by your doctor and get the results to be sure that vitamins is all you need. Start taking an age appropriate multivitamin w/ all the essential ingredients. You should feel better in about a month. Stay healthy and happy, good luck.
