1) You could be too thin. If you're very underweight, you bruise VERY easily
2) Some medications can cause this--like Paxil
3) You may have a more serious problem, like Hemophilia. You can get a blood test to check this.
4) Lack of Vitamin C--it is needed for vein and capillary health. Also a lack of iron. You can take a multi-vitamin or take Iron or Vitamin C supplements alone.
Sometimes easy bruising is a sign of low white blood count. The next time you are at the doctor discuss this with him/her. I wouldn't rush over there but it is worth looking into.
Sometimes medication will cause brusing.
