Easily bruising on my back and arms/legs - no trauma

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.

Hello~Since your tests are coming back "normal" I would say you have a Vitamin C/Bioflavonoid deficiency. These can cause the unexplained bruising as when you are low in these nutrients, you capillaries get weak and burst, that is what causes the bruising. I would start taking 1000mg of Vitamin C and Bioflavonoids three times a day, do this for about a week or until the bruises start to fade, then, take a maintenance dose of 1000 mg and bioflavonoids once daily.
