Brief Answer:
Protective fat just under the skin becomes thinner as we age or hematological problem.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to H.C.M.

I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Bruising is an area of discolored skin that develops when the lining of small blood vessels is damaged and blood leaks out of the blood vessels into the tissues of the skin.

Due to this blood leaking, it appear deep red in color.

Common causes for this easy bleeding are

1) Trauma

2) Elder Age

3) Nutritional deficiencies, such as deficiency in vitamins C

4) Blood disorders

5) Medications, such as blood thinners


As we age, will bruise more easily because-

1) The layer of protective fat just under the skin becomes thinner.

2) The small blood vessels also become more fragile and are more easily damaged.

Thanks.

Have a nice day.
