Hello,
Repeated bruising is definitely a concern and must be investigated since the causes can range from innocuous reasons like ..age related changes,medications like painnkillers,aspirin,blood thinners like warfarin,herbal supplements,nutritional deficiencies like deficiency of VIT K AND VIT C to serious disorders like haemophilia,thrombophilia,kidney disorders liver disorders,cancers etc.
The cause needs to be investigated and hence you must consult a doctor for
This.
Thanks
