The fact that you bruise easily can be a sign of malnutrition: lack of vitamins B12, C, or folic acid, but that's the obvious. The not so obvious could be that you have a blood clotting disorder like von Willebrand's disease, or thrombocytopenia.

You should take this info to your Dr. as he probably didn't cover all possibilities.

Wish you luck!!
