I've been getting bruises?

I've been getting bruises lately and I get insecure about it. They just appear and I have no memory how they got there. I have 7 on my left and and 6 on my right. My boyfriend has seen them and keeps asking about them. I don't get abused. The bruises do scare me, of the fear that I might something wrong with my body. I'm in band and I'm on my feet all day. I had bandcanp last week, all day and I don't know if being on my feet all day causes them? This isn't the first time, that these bruises have appeared, they'll go away and come back. It wasn't that long ago that I had the bruises. There more on my upper thighs and the bruises I get are like the size of a penny or a dime. I'm concern. Help xx

I have Read that More of Vitamin C, Iron and Vitamin K helps to prevent this. And perhaps you are lacking some other Vitamin in your food diet.
I have been on a Multiple Vitamin since I was a little girl, and rarely a bruise... Or one that I can remember getting, although I was always doing Something being 'busy' with every day living that could have caused it.
Go see your doctor and find out what's going on. It's always good to get these little things, even a bit bigger, squared away.
If they are coming and going, it May be due to a nutritional deficiency. And yes, from my research, Extensive 'Standing' can cause bruising as well.
At any rate, it's nothing to worry about, sweetie. Make an appointment with the doctor for further advice. It will help Uncover the Mystery of all the matter.
Good luck. xx

doubt it's simply from being on your feet. bruises are caused by injury to blood vessels. I guess there could be some injury in the exertion of playing your instrument but it also could be a sign of some sort of illness.

DEFINITELY go to a doctor.

it may be nothing it could be something but a doctor is definitely the person to ask advice on this matter

Go to the doctor and see if there is anything going on.
