some people have weaker skin then others and this cause them to bruse ealisy. It is nothing to major to worry about but just in case go get it cheak out to ease your mind.

It could be: Ecchymoses- A form of macula (discolored spots or patches) appearing in large irregularly formed hemorrhagic areas of the skin. Color can be blue-black changing to greenish-brown or yellow. Not a bruise resulting from an injury.

You may have a bleeding disorder, like hemophelia. I'm sure there are other possibilities including other disorders or side-effects of medication. Don't mess around with this. Bleeding/bruising problems have the possibility of causing a blood clot to form and that is very dangerous.

If you are worried, which it sounds like you are, go to the doctors, that way you will get a proper diagnosis and if needed the correct treatment. This could be a symptom of many things, ask a professional, not us lot.
Good luck

Has this always been the case or is it worse than usual?
Bruising can be a sign of a blood disorder, you really should see your GP. It also could be nothing, so don't panic!
Good luck x

Dont mean to scare you, but my late husband had the same problem only to find out he suffered from Leukemia....dont try to take care of this yourself..bruising can be a sign of a very serious condition..see your doctor ASAP.

It could be something very serious but MILD bruising could be from an iron deficiency. Yours sounds a little too severe to be that however.
