I'm 14/f
Lately i've been bruising really easily mainly on my legs and i don't know where there even coming from i have alot on my legs and it's kinda frekin me out.
Is there like a nutritional illness i might have like not eating right or somthing or dose it sound like i just get hurt alot and don't realize it?
There can be nutritional deficiencies that will make you more susceptible to bruising. If you are low in C, K, B12, or folic acid you could be experiencing more bruising. Also there are certain medications that could cause one to bruise more often such as aspirin. If you are taking some kind of prescription drug you should check w/your doctor as to whether this is one of the side effects. I have an idea for you if you are experiencing bruising that will help you until you build your nutritional deficiencies back up. Get yourself some Arnica Massage Oil. The best brand name is Weleda. If you bump yourself and see a bruise coming up simply apply this oil right away on the area that you see the bruise coming up. It works best when done on a fresh injury. I have had bruises disappear w/in minutes. If it doesn't go away that fast for you it will, at least, help it to heal faster than the 2 or 3 weeks that it usually takes to disappear. Bruising happens to be ruptured small veins that leak out into the surrounding tissue. The reason arnica works is that it stimulates circulation and helps to reduce swelling. It’s good for all kinds of things like arthritis, abdominal pain, rheumatism, sore or painful joints, and sprains. So it is a great addition to your medicine cabinet anyway. Start increasing your vitamin intake of the above mentioned vitamins and cut down on white sugar and you should have this under control in no time. Good luck!
Namaste!
