Reasons for the sudden appearance of bruises on the body without any apparent cause:
Bruises appear as a collection of blood under the skin as a result of broken capillaries due to a specific injury. Blood leaks from the capillaries into the surrounding tissues. Bruises may disappear on their own, and often the causes are not serious.
1- Vitamin deficiency: A deficiency in certain vitamins leads to the sudden appearance of bruises, such as vitamin K, vitamin B12, vitamin C, and folic acid.
2- Taking certain types of medications and dietary supplements: Anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory medications reduce the blood's ability to clot, which may lead to blood leaking into the blood vessels and accumulating under the skin. Some dietary supplements, such as fish oil, garlic, and ginseng, cause bruising on the skin.
