Easy Bruising... Vitimans, lotions, etc?

[gate_pourri]

I bruise REALLY easily. This has gone on for years and I've had blood tests done and everything is normal. But, with summer coming, I am again, getting embarrassed by my legs with multiple bruises on them. At the moment, my right leg has 3 bruises and my left has 1. I hate it! Does anyone know if there are any vitamins, lotions, or anything to help get rid of these bruises? I use arnica cream on occasion, but am hoping to prevent future bruises... especially with shorts/skirt season upon us.

I bruise REALLY easily as well (I am anemic). Iron supplements REALLY, REALLY help (I take SlowFE... straight up Iron will upset the stomach). And, did you know, if you bump yourself, and you know a bruise will form, rub the spot and "break up" the blood before it clots... that is all a bruise is.

I bruise really easily, too. When people would ask about them, I used to say, "My pimp beat me."

I'm anemic, too. Taking a supplement with Vitamin K (for clotting,) and also orange juice really helps. Viactiv multivitamins has extra Vitamin K in it.
