- Large or deep bruises that seem to form with little or no impact

What causes Bruising without injury?
- Blood clotting disorders: Conditions like hemophilia or vitamin K deficiency can prevent blood from clotting properly, leading to easy bruising.
- Medications: Blood thinners or steroids may increase bruising.
- Aging: As we age, our skin becomes thinner, and blood vessels become more fragile.
- Vascular conditions: Disorders affecting blood vessels can lead to spontaneous bruising.
Risk factors for Bruising without injury
- Medications: Blood thinners, aspirin, or corticosteroids can increase bruising.
- Age: Older adults may bruise more easily due to thinning skin and weaker blood vessels.

- Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of vitamin C or K can contribute to easy bruising.
