Hello my name is monica im almost 18 and i sometimes have these bruises on my legs with no reason why?

Dr. Bassem Tanios Nephrology
Bruises can occur secondary to minor trauma to skin, such as exercise or physical activity, which can be not noticed sometimes. It can also be the result of defects in hemostasis and coagulation, that means that the vessel wall does not repair itself very efficiently. This can be due to low platelets ( cells in the blood that are responsible for stopping bleeding) or coagulation problem, or some vitamin deficiency.
I advise you to see your doctor, who will do some initial blood tests to make sure that these problems are not present.
