Bruise which hasn’t disappeared in over a year

[Beeloux]

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has ever experienced this? I had a bruise appear on my forearm well over a year ago and it’s not disappeared or faded. I can’t remember knocking it but presume it’s a bruise as it aches when I touch it. It’s definitely the same mark as I notice it everyday and it’s hasn’t changed shape or colour.
Wondering if anyone has experienced this before? I do get a lot of unexplained bruising on my legs and thighs but they fade within a week or two. I’m tired and out of breath a lot of the time too so was wondering if it was a vitamin deficiency/anaemia.
Any advice appreciated :)

Hi, the combination with easy bruising elsewhere, fatigue, and breathlessness could indicate several possible conditions:

Blood-related:

Iron deficiency anemia
Other types of anemia
Platelet disorders
Clotting factor issues

Nutritional:

Vitamin B12 deficiency
Vitamin K deficiency
Vitamin C deficiency

Vascular:

Small vessel fragility
Vascular malformation

@RedHotWings great, thanks very much. 😊Will book an appointment with the gp surgery.
