Thanks for contacting HCM with your health concern
1. As there is no history of injury/trauma, thus following could be the possibilities which one should evaluate after regular check up with his physician:
i. nutritional deficiency: of Vitamin K and C, Zinc, iron deficiency anemia,
ii.use of certain medications like: pain killers,steroids
iii. low platelet count and increased bleeding time
iv. ageing
2. A full medical evaluation [complete blood count] is necessary to determine the exact cause and further line of treatment.
