True help: Can something happen to you if you get bruises very often - I - Help.com

have you asked your doctor? some people show bruises more easily…light colored skin. some are more likely to bump into things. older people who take an aspirin regimen will bruise cause the aspirin delays clotting.

there are clotting disorders - those are usually diagnosed early.

try searching mayo clinic’s symptom checker.

but really ask your doctor.

I actually know where the bruises are coming from, it’s not that I have them for no reason (like some people with anemia etc.). I was just concerned if it’s true that having many bruises for a prolonged time can be dangerous to one’s health. Thank you for replying.

Nice one… However, I’d bleed out before cutting them all.

Oh, I’m not even 20 yet, Zirber :)
I know where all those bruises are from, it’s not like I’m getting new ones without a reason but I was just worried if they may be harmful after getting them on pretty much regular basis. Thanks anyway.

From the mayoclinic.org First aid for bruises

By Mayo Clinic staff

A bruise forms when a blow breaks blood vessels near your skin’s surface, allowing a small amount of blood to leak into the tissues under your skin. The trapped blood appears as a black-and-blue mark.

If your skin isn’t broken, you don’t need a bandage, but you enhance bruise healing with these simple techniques:

Elevate the injured area.
Apply ice or a cold pack several times a day for a day or two after the injury.
Rest the bruised area, if possible.
Consider acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) for pain relief, or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) for pain relief and to reduce swelling.

See your doctor if

You have unusually large or painful bruises — particularly if your bruises seem to develop for no known reasons.
You begin to bruise easily.
You’re experiencing abnormal bleeding elsewhere, such as from your nose or gums, or you notice blood in your eyes, stool or urine.
You have no history of bruising, but suddenly experience bruises.

These signs and symptoms may indicate a more serious problem, such as a blood-clotting problem or blood-related disease. Bruises accompanied by persistent pain or headache also may indicate a more serious underlying illness and require medical attention.
