Final Thoughts
Unexplained bruises can be harmless or a sign of something more serious. Your body often gives subtle signals when something isn’t right, and bruising is one of them. If the bruises are persistent, worsening, or accompanied by other symptoms, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional.
Understanding what your body is trying to tell you is the first step toward protecting your health. Staying aware, maintaining healthy habits, and seeking help when necessary can make all the difference.
