When accidentally discovering a few bruises on the arms, thighs... without knowing the cause, many people reassure themselves that "ghost grass" shot. In fact, bruises are a common skin injury or the result of blood vessels transporting blood between the heart, tissues and other organs of the body being broken due to damage or weakness, red blood cells escaping from the vessel walls and causing black, yellow, blue bruises that medicine calls subcutaneous hemorrhage. Usually, this condition disappears after a few weeks, but you should not be subjective because this sign can be easily confused with signs of dangerous diseases.

Here are the causes of bruises on the body that you do not know, according to Boldsky.

Diabetes

If you often see bruises on your skin without knowing the cause, you should check for diabetes because this is one of the warning signs of the disease. The reason is internal capillary bleeding because the blood vessels are too weak.

Do exercise

People who do vigorous, fast-paced exercises, lifting weights, can inadvertently injure themselves without realizing it. Exercise also puts a lot of pressure on the muscles, leading to the "bursting" of small blood vessels, causing bruises.

Aging

As we age, our body's collagen production slows down and the protective layer of fat that protects our skin is lost. After the age of 60, we may experience unexplained bruising.

Blood disorders

People with hemophilia, blood clotting disorders, and prolonged bleeding will develop bruises even from the smallest collision. Unexplained bruises can also be a sign of leukemia. Therefore, you should see a doctor if you have frequent bruises.

Medicine

Some drugs, when used in excess doses, such as aspirin, birth control pills, steroids, etc., can cause unexplained bruises on the skin.

Dermatological bleeding

In this condition, blood leaks from tiny capillaries, resulting in thousands of tiny bruises that can be itchy. Take medication to avoid risks.

Vitamin C deficiency

Vitamin C is important for wound healing and collagen formation. A lack of vitamin C causes small blood vessels to break, leading to bruising. A deficiency in this important vitamin can also be one of the main reasons for bruising.
