Why Do I Bruise So Easily?

6. Sun Damage
Many of us like to try and get a tan as it makes us look rather a lot healthier. While this is just fine provided it is done carefully, it is also not without its drawbacks. Too much sun can be quite harmful to us and it can even lead to us bruising more easily than we otherwise would.
Too much sun over a prolonged period can cause senile purpura and/or actinic purpura. These are purple colored patches of skin that can appear on the forearms and hands even with only the slightest of knocks. These bruises can be avoided if you take necessary cautions when spending time in the sun.
