Suggest Treatment For Bruising On The Arms And Legs
Question: I bruise very easily. What is the cause? I have recently been diagnosed with plaque psoriasis but simultaneously am bruising on arms and lags primarily.
Brief Answer:
Maybe due to blood vessel fragility
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Easy bruising has got various causes, like low platelet count, deranged clotting function of blood, fragility of skin and its blood vessels, vitamin c deficiency, etc.
We have to rule them out one by one by appropriate testing, but in you I feel this is due to increased fragility of vessels. This is mostly age related, compounded by the psoriasis.
I don't think it would turn out to be something serious.
Hope this helps.
Regards
