No matter which of the three main types of VWD that you are suffering from, easy bruising is a common symptom with all of them. This is one of the easiest symptoms to identify as it is accompanied by a red or purple discoloration that doesn't change in color when pressing down on it.

This discoloration of the skin is typically accompanied by tenderness and slight pain when touched.Next
