Getting Bruise On Back And Shoulder, Red Marks On Back. Will It Be Cured?

I keep getting bruises on my back and shoulders really easily. I play golf regularly but putting the golf bag across my back will encounter a massive bruise the next day. They usually last for about a week. I also just keep getting red marks like the imprint of a cushion on my back just from sitting on the sofa. Will they ever stop and go away?

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

you might be having a low platelet count and hence you are developing these bruises.

Get your platelet levels checked.

Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal,

you can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.

A photograph would have helped me better.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
