I have bruises on my legs that diminish over time, however, you can still see the shadow of a bruise one year later...what can this signify? Anyone know? I also bruise very easily...but am not anemic.

This is normal for women with fair skin especially. Maybe an allergy to a certain medication? I've had this in the past.

If it's still shadowy you can use a bleaching agent to bleach it and make it blend in with your skin.

Are you fair skinned? sundaze88 has raised a fair point, have you spoke to your doctor about it?

It's either your very pale skin that's emphasizing the bruises or else there is something in your body stopping the bruises from going away, if you are worried go check it out with a DR.

Get a complete blood work-up esp if you have bruises on other parts of your body besides the extremities. Better find out to be safe.

Have you gone to a doctor yet? Bruises are symptom of leukaemia.

There are 3 types of deficiency which may be the reason why you are getting bruises on your skin. These are lack in Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin K. Among these, the most common cause of bruising is lack of Vitamin K.

If the bruises do not go away for a week, this could be a symptom of leukemia. Ask a specialist to check on the bruise for your peace of mind.
