You must have noticed at some point or the other that without any injury, blue or black marks suddenly form on our body. These blue-black marks appearing on the body sometimes seem normal, but it is not normal for them to happen again and again over a long period of time. Repeated appearance of blue/black marks (bruises) without any obvious injury can also be a sign of some disturbance going on inside the body. So let us know about it in detail.
Common causes of blue marks without injury
minor collision that won’t be remembered
Many times we get lightly hit by something and do not pay attention, but the internal blood vessels burst.
growing older
With age the skin becomes thinner and the blood vessels become brittle, making bruises easier.
vitamin deficiency
Due to deficiency of Vitamin C, blood vessels become weak. Deficiency of Vitamin K affects the process of blood clotting.
Iron deficiency (anemia)
Due to this, marks may appear on the body without any reason.
effect of some medicines
Like aspirin, blood thinners, steroids etc.
When can serious signs occur?
If the following symptoms appear together, do not ignore it
- Frequent and severe bruises.
- Scar not healing for a long time.
- Frequent bleeding from the nose or gums.
- Excessive tiredness or weakness.
- Unexplained weight loss.
In such cases, conditions like liver problems, blood disorders or deficiency of platelets may occur.
rescue and care
- Eat a balanced diet (green vegetables, fruits, citrus fruits)
- Drink enough water.
- Do not take medicines without advice.
- If the problem persists, then definitely get tests (CBC, platelet count etc.) done by the doctor.
