Hi and welcome to Healthcare magic.Thank you for the query.
i dont think this is related but those bruises should not betreated by steroids. Fisrt you should do some hematologic tests to rule out clotting disorders. Bruises can be treated by ice or heparin gel. Bumps can be causes by various causes and you need to visit dermatologist for it.
Wish you good health. Regards
