So what gives? And should you be concerned? Here\u2019s why some people bruise more easily than others and when it warrants a visit to the doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>First things first: What exactly is bruising?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You probably have <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">some<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> idea about what bruises are, but you might not know exactly what\u2019s going on beneath the surface when they crop up. \u201cBruising is skin discoloration resulting from pooled blood as capillaries [tiny blood vessels] leak underneath the skin,\u201d explains general practitioner <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Liana Casusi, M.D., a consultant for<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ohsospotless.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oh So Spotless<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An injury to the area can cause the bursting of these fragile vessels, allowing blood to leak out and collect under the skin, showing up as a bruise.\u201d Initially bruises look purplish-blue (or &#8220;black and blue&#8221;), but they change to yellow as our body reabsorbs the blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of course, the severity of an injury influences the appearance of the bruise; they can range from light blemishes to big and bold mixtures of colors, according to board-certified dermatologist Dr. Todd Minars, M.D., of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.minarsdermatology.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minars Dermatology<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Hollywood, FL. \u201cLikewise, some bruises are sore to the touch (or painful, if severe enough) and others are all but forgotten aside from their visual evidence.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why do some people bruise more easily than others?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Ever wonder why some people turn black and blue from the slightest of pokes? Here are six possible reasons why they&#8217;re more sensitive than others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Clotting Issues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Two primary causes typically explain easy bruising. \u201cThe first is that someone\u2019s normal clotting mechanism has been affected, which is to say they are no longer able to clot minor contusions as they used to or as one normally could expect,\u201d says Minars. This is often caused by the frequent use of blood thinners, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">such as aspirin, antiplatelet medications, and anticoagulants, notes Casusi. NSAIDs (think ibuprofen), steroids, and even certain natural supplements\u2014particularly <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">garlic, ginseng, ginkgo, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/c\/vitamins-supplements\/letter-vitamins\/vitamin-e\">vitamin E<\/a>\u2014can also contribute, adds<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mdmercy.com\/centers-of-excellence\/additional-centers\/dermatology\/our-doctors\/danielle-baruch-md\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Danielle Baruch, M.D.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> a board-certified dermatologist at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/mdmercy.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mercy Medical Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Baltimore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Fragile Capillaries<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second general cause? Some individuals have normal clotting function but capillaries that are more fragile, says Minars. \u201cCapillary fragility offers no serious complications to the patient, but can indicate a more serious problem elsewhere, such as a vitamin deficiency or dermatological disorder.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Serious Health Conditions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In rare (and serious) cases, bruising easily can reflect low platelet counts, abnormal platelet functioning, or deficiencies in proteins that assist with blood clotting, according to Casusi. \u201cAside from easy bruising, these diseases can actually lead to uncontrollable internal or external bleeding, which may be fatal if not detected early,\u201d she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily, there are telltale signs that your bruises reflect these serious issues. \u201cTypically, these bruises appear at sites that are not much exposed to trauma, such as the trunk, face, or back,\u201d says Casusi. \u201cIf you develop bruises around these areas for no apparent reason, have family members who also suffer from easy bruising, bleed excessively from minor cuts, or notice a sudden onset of easy bruising after starting a medication, then see a doctor,\u201d says Casusi. Laboratory tests can be conducted to figure out what\u2019s causing your condition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Aging<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWith age, all of us lose some of the collagen and fat that supports our skin and blood vessels,\u201d explains Baruch. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">his decline in cushion results in bruises developing after even minor bumps and injuries, especially in locations like forearms and legs, since our skin gets thinner as we age. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Sun Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the ultraviolet rays from the sun accelerate the decline of collagen in the skin, people with lots of sun damage may notice they bruise more than others. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYears of sun exposure, particularly on high-frequency sun-exposed areas like our arms, legs, and chest, weaken the collagen, which is essentially the supporting tissue in the skin which supports the capillaries,\u201d says Minars.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of bruising is aptly named \u2018solar purpura\u2019 and it is very common. \u201cYou will see it in older people as constant bruises on their arms,\u201d she says. \u201cTheir clotting is normal, but the capillaries just burst easily. They complain that the slightest bumps cause bruising, or they don&#8217;t even know what caused the bruise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Low Vitamin C Levels<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/surprising-benefits-of-vitamin-c\/\">Vitamin C<\/a> deficiency may also be a reason you bruise easily. As with sun exposure, the reason for such bruising with this condition relates to collagen: \u201cThis vitamin is essential for the formation of collagen,\u201d explains Casusi. Without ample amounts of it, your collagen production (and resilience against bruising) takes a hit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s4\"><b>Try:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/p\/c-1000-1000-mg-100-softgels\/vs-1828\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s3\"><b>The Vitamin Shoppe brand Vitamin C<\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>When To See A Doctor<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, one or two unexpected bruises are probably of no concern. \u201cHowever, if you&#8217;re noticing more than that without obvious reasons for the bruises, it deserves at least an exploratory visit to your primary care doctor or dermatologist,\u201d says Minars. \u201cThey&#8217;ll likely perform a normal check-up and run panels or bloodwork to gain more insight if they have concerns.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing bruises in locations like your face or abdomen is another reason to get checked out, according to Baruch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOther concerning features that warrant medical attention would be bruises that do not go away on their own over the course of a week or two, bruises that are excessively painful, or bruises that suddenly pop up in combination with other symptoms that are new to you,\u201d she adds. \u201cDeveloping excessive bleeding after medical procedures or dental work may be due to blood clotting disease and should also prompt a visit to your physician.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bottom line: Though easy bruising is often benign, it never hurts to check in with your primary care physician or dermatologist to confirm what could be behind the unsightly spots.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy bruising is often attributed to anemia, but you may find you have fabulous iron numbers and still bruise like a darn peach.
