Suggest Treatment For Severe Skin Bruisability And Bleeding, With History Of Hepatitis C
Hi. I have a history of Hep. C. I am also in pain management, on narcotics. I am 46. Recently, I have begin having problems with my skin. I can barely touch something and it will either bust open and bleed or cause horrific blackish colored bruising, like blood under the skin. What could be the problem?

Hi
Chronic hepatitis C viral infection can lead to decreased number of platelets ultimately leading to easy bruisability and increased bleeding tendency. There's nothing to prevent but there is a solution. Platelets need to be transfused to stop these problems. But again they provide a temporary relief. Please consult a medical specialist in your nearby hospital for platelets transfusion.
Take care & thank you for asking at healthcare magic.
