Are you taking an SSRI for depression or anxiety? Medications like Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, etc. tend to cause easy bruising. Another possibility is something called "senile purpura," which is just easy bruising caused by aging. As we get older, we have less collagen in our skin, which normally keeps skin soft and protects small blood vessels.
