Other Common Causes of Frequent Bruising
Beyond nutrition, several other factors may play a role:
-
Medications – Blood thinners, aspirin, ibuprofen, some antibiotics, and steroids
-
Aging – Thinner skin and less fat cushion make vessels more vulnerable
-
Sun Damage – Years of UV exposure weaken skin and blood vessels
-
Medical Conditions – Diabetes, anemia, hemophilia, and certain blood cancers (like leukemia and lymphoma)
-
Sports Injuries – High-impact or contact sports can cause deeper, more dramatic bruises
