Always wanted to believe in Karma, but the last years have made me not. My wife was a very good person who did everything she could for everyone she could and she passed away suddenly and unexpectedly 9 weeks ago and there are A$$h0le$ out there still doing bad things, it makes no sense to me.
Most bruises form when small blood vessels (capillaries) near the skin’s surface are broken by the impact of a blow or injury — often on the arms or legs. When this happens, blood leaks out of the vessels and initially appears as a black-and-blue mark. Eventually your body reabsorbs the blood, and the mark disappears.
Generally, harder blows cause larger bruises. However, if you bruise easily, a minor bump — one you might not even notice — can result in a substantial bruise.
Some people — especially women — are more prone to bruising than others. As you get older, your skin also becomes thinner and loses some of the protective fatty layer that helps cushion your blood vessels from injury.
Aspirin, anticoagulant medications and anti-platelet agents reduce your blood’s ability to clot. Antibiotics might also be associated with clotting problems. As a result, bleeding from capillary damage might take longer than usual to stop — which allows enough blood to leak out to cause a bigger bruise.
Topical and systemic corticosteroids — which can be used to treat various conditions, including allergies, asthma and eczema — cause your skin to thin, making it easier to bruise. Certain dietary supplements, such as ginkgo, also can increase your bruising risk due to a blood-thinning effect.
Easy bruising sometimes indicates a serious underlying condition, such as a blood-clotting problem or a blood disease. See your doctor if you:
Have frequent, large bruises, especially if your bruises appear on your trunk, back or face, or seem to develop for no known reasons
Have easy bruising and a history of significant bleeding, such as during a surgical procedure
Suddenly begin bruising, especially if you recently started a new medication
Have a family history of easy bruising or bleeding
