I have heard that taking certain supplements or medications (like Dena asked) can cause bruising to happen more easily. Also, we tend to bruise more easily with age. I only know this because I was recently bruised by a cactus poke (I think it punctured a vessel) and was doing some research. If you are really concerned Amy, you should try calling the nurse at your doctor's office. I know bruising can be a sign of leukemia or blood clotting, but I believe it would be more generalized in one area, and you would definitely have other symptoms. Some people just bruise easily. I remember my mom, for example, once getting a bruise on her legs from her small dog jumping onto her lap.
