I think lack of Iron has been known to cause that...I used to bruise very easy but ever since I started eating a lot more red meat and got off Fina my Iron ;evels are above normal and no bruises at all

A guy I use to work with had the same problem,it had nothing to do with steroids.The doctor told him it was because his blood was extremely thin,because he was taking aspirin all the time for some reason.Once he quit taking the aspirin and his blood thickened up the problem went away.

i think it is got to do with the strength of your capillaries or something.
well i never bruise for some reason been bashed before by 16 guys (b'day bash) and no bruises hehe.

Can also be caused by a Vitamin C defiicency.

He shouldnt just start taking supplemental iron. Iron can reach toxic levels very quickly, especially in male's. Generally most males are not deficient in iron (study done in newengland journal of medicine). He may have non-iron related anemia which is causing the brusing, but in any case, he needs to see a doc if it is that big a problem. Vitamin B-12 is good for anemia and is almost impossible to reach toxic levels since it is water soluble, so you could take a lot of it.
