What Causes Easy Bruising On Body?
Question: I get bruies from the slightest touch - On my hands, arms and legs what causes this? I am only taking two prescription medicines Paroxetine HCL 40 MG and Dexilan DR 30 MG every day.
Brief Answer:
The age and lack of vitamin C common cause
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
Easy bruises are very common late middle age due to loss of collagen in skin tissue and inefficient absorption of vitamin C from diet.
Rather than worrying I request you to supplement Vitamin C in your diet and avoid exposure to rough surfaces as far as possible.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
