Bruising: Why Does it Happen to Me Easily?By: Question : I bruise very, very easily. Could this be a sign of vitamin deficiency? What else might cause this?
Answer :
Deficiency in the B vitamins B-12 and folate may lead to a low platelet count and easy bruising and bleeding. Vitamin C deficiency (very, very uncommon) or excess vitamin E may cause the same thing. For evaluation of your bruising, start with your family doctor or internist. That doctor will probably do some blood tests; if necessary, he or she can refer you to a hematologist, a specialist in blood disorders.
