Anyone else?

I have always bruised easily. One of those pale-skinned folk, and the bruises show up well amid the freckles.

I always have several on my thighs. Just noticed a few on my abdomen and chest, and arms. No good cause, that I know of, and they do not hurt.

The one time I had to be on crutches, I had bruises spread on my underarms, sides, and back.

I'm an easy bruiser too! There is a bruise on my shin from 3 years ago...it never healed. It doesn't help that I'm a klutz, always walking into a door frame or bumping into something. My lumbar region will sometime turn black and blue just from inflammation. Hubby always tells me I'm fragile. :)

Hugs, Robin

It is just so weird! It looks like someone has been beating me, which is maybe a bad joke, sorry anyone if my odd sense of humor offends. Just for the record, I am the only one who beats myself, and that ain't a physical thing.

So, the bruises are just random expressions of the skin's discomfort. I once wore a bra that left bruises on my ribcage. I hate underwire.

I bruise easier...especially my left arm.  I always have a mark that looks like I was hit with a sledge hammer.  If I reach into a low cupboard and my forearm rubs against the shelf, I will have a nasty red mark in a matter of seconds and it takes about a week to go away.  My doctor said it was the ibuprofen doing this but when I stopped taking it for a while it continued.

Myself,

I have the same type of coloring, and yes, bruises all the time. Everything seems to show up more on we really light-skinned people.  (Us? We?)

Do any of you have vairocus veins?

I had a large vein to pop in my leg and leave a very large bruise. When they pop you get a stinging burning feeling for several days. Mine popped over two weeks ago and still looks fresh.

I have varicose veins in one leg caused by a large hernia I have but I've never had a vein pop. I've never heard of that happening. They usually get large and some might "balloon" out but I've never heard of one popping. Lucky you!
