I get bruises super easily, as does my mom. I always have bruises on my legs. Usually they don't hurt and I have no idea where I got them. For example I'll get lots of bruises from getting in and out of a pool and not using the ladder. Is this normal? I'm also wondering if there is any way of covering them up, with like makeup or some special lotion/cream.

Lol it's not like I'm a rough and tumble girl football player or anything so that's not really the problem.
Someone, anyone?

I think you should go to a doctor. I've never really had bruises so I dont know how to treat them.

i don't know how well this would work but it works on your face so, mix like one part concealer and one part lotion and put it on your legs. i do the same thing with moisterizer on my face so it might work with you legs. hope i helped :]]

By any chance, have you been tested for anemia? I'm anemic and I'm tremendously prone to bruises.

I don't think I have. I'll check that out :)

Eep. That looks painful.
But yeah, I'd just suggest what Rebecca pointed out. Also, some people just bruise really easily. My sister does. It's weird.. I'm the complete opposite.
And about covering it up, have you tried concealer?

Do you have a skin condition? Also as Kathleen stated some people get more bruises easily. Anemia may also have something to do about. I would recommend getting it checked out.

Random bruses are a sign for lukimiea. Consult your local doctor.

I dont think it's normal to bruise that easily (just by getting out of the pool). So yea, maybe you should go see a doctor.

hey! ok so im not trying to scare ya but this once happened to one of my friends she was getting bruises on her legs for no apparent reason as well..she was also getting red dots all over so she went to the doctors and she had something called "scurvy" and old pirate thing she got it because she didnt really eat her fruits and stuff she had an anxiety disorder after a while it got so bad she couldnt walk but than she started eating normal again and was taking vitamins that would replace the fruits meat etc...Im not saying this is wrong with you I just hope ur eating normal...but i would recomend you seeing a doctor if your not sure where these bruises are coming from

I think you should go to a doctor to get the best diagnosis. You could just be bumping into things a lot, or it could be something more serious.

I asked him about it at my last checkup and I guess I just have really sensitive skin. I bruise easily. Nothing wrong with me... I think :)
