Easily bruising.
Usually, I don't bruise easily at all. Lately, random bruises have been showing up all over me. Like on the back of my thighs, & on my shins. (Spelling may be off) Any idea what that could be from? Could I be lacking a certain vitamin or something?
Another thing, my cat scratched me & it won't go away. Normally it heals with in a week. It's been over a week & they haven't healed what so ever.
Could this be a deficiency ?

It sounds like an iron deficiency. I have low iron, and I find random bruises on my body, too. I also sometimes take a long time to heal when I have cuts. Start taking a daily multivitamin, and look for one with high iron levels. That's what my doctor recommended and it really helps :)

What you're describing can have several causes. Certain vitamin deficiencies, medications and medical conditions can cause easy bruising and wounds that are slow to heal. The best way to find out what is going on with you is to see a doctor. If you are young, please talk to your parent or school nurse. I hope it all turns out well for you.
