First check with your doctor and have your platelets checked and blood work for your liver function with at PT& PTT. These are the things that are related to bleeding time. Do not use aspirin as that increases bruising. Use Tylenol instead. Are you on anti-inflammatories,Prednisone or coumadin? Those meds cause increased bleeding. If you are on those meds notify your doctor of your increased bleeding immediately for him to regulate your dose. Check your stools to make sure they are not black. If they are notify your doctor immediately as that could mean serious intestinal bleeding. Also some herbs cause increased bleeding times. Are you on any herbs? Increase your leafy dark green veggies especially spinach and fruits. These are high in bioflavanoids. If these ar all ok look into allergies. When my allergies are more severe I bruise easily. Please let me know what you find out.
