First off...

Q: What causes bruises?
A: When trauma to the skin occurs, sometimes blood vessels break but your skin doesn’t. The blood pools under your skin, forming a dark purple or black bruise. White blood cells arrive at the site to eat up the spilled blood. This process is called phagocytosis.

So, in my opinion, yours is caused by the slow reaction/function time of your WBC's....

Or....from excessive exposure to the sun (weakened/thinning veins.....

Or...from taking anticoagulant medications, which could react with aspirin, causing longer-lasting, and excesive bruising...



Regarding your diet ...:

Eat a variety of foods to avoid dietary deficiencies. Nutritional deficiencies of vitamins C, K, or B12 or folic acid can affect blood clotting. Include a daily selection of:
-Whole-grain and enriched breads, cereals, and grain products.
-Vegetables.
-Fruits.
-Milk, cheese, and yogurt.
-Meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dried beans and peas, and tofu.
-Avoid dietary supplements that may increase bruising, particularly if you take a blood-thinning medication. Dietary supplements that may increase bruising include fish oil, vitamin E, garlic, ginger, and ginkgo biloba.



Hope this helps you!
