Bruising very easily, bloodwork mostly normal, is it serious?

I am in my early 20s and have been bruising very easily just noticing this throughout the past month or so. I currently have many bruises on my legs (with the largest being on my hip/outside thigh area, and on my lower/mid back on the left side. I went to the doctor to get bloodwork and he hasn't called me back so I assume that it was unremarkable. My prolactin was elevated about a month ago when I had prior bloodwork. (Not pregnant). I am taking lamotragine 100 once daily, and nothing else other than ibuprophen if I have the occasional headache.
I also, in early June had a ruptured ovarian cyst, I have a follow up ultrasound booked within the next couple weeks, not sure if that is corrolated at all.

Not sure whether or not your medical condition has anything to do with it, but I have experienced the same issues as you. I have found that eating more fruits and vegetables has helped a lot. I believe it was my mom who told me to do this because the bruises were getting ridiculous. I have also noticed that mustard helps a lot, too. I went through a period of time when my finances would only allow me to buy cheap things like ramen and obj. The bruises came back of course and I knew it was because I wasn't getting enough greens lol. Eventually I got tired of obj and decided to test out the combination of peanut butter and mustard just for the heck of it since it was something sitting in the fridge. I ended up liking it a lot and eating it more often, and soon enough the bruises went away even though my diet was poor. I am not a doctor, just saying what worked for me.
