I've always been an easy bruiser, multiple docs have said it's just my nature, nothing wrong with me. I probably have a dozen various bruises right now. My skin is very fair and veins so close to the surface you can easily see them in many places, like light blue stripes under my skin. They are not raised though.
I also take MSM, 6000mg day, have for about 6 years and have started so many other people on it too. We all swear we will never stop taking it! I haven't been sick once and my periods are down to 2 days (from 7-8) with no cramps (used to be bed-ridden for 3-4 days), my nails are strong and grow so fast I have to clip them weekly. It hasn't helped my bruising though!
