Addicted To Ice Cream And Chocolate. Purple Bruise Appeared On Arms And Hands. Any Ideas?

Thank you for your good work in the past. Your organization is always a big help to me.
Thanks for the query
Well the problem you have mentioned does not seem to be due to an ice cream or chocolates. The bruises are formed by leaking of the blood under the skin in the tissues. that happens either due to some trauma but occurs more frequently and repeatedly when there is some problem with blood clotting system most commonly due to vitamin K deficiency, autoimmune disorders, liver diseases, thrombocytopenia, clotting factor deficiency or leukemia.
There are some other symptoms associated like spontaneous bleeding from gums, melena (blood in stool) , hemoptysis or hematemesis but that develop in advanced cases.
It is recommended to have consultation from the specialist in XXXXXXX medicine and also have some tests like Liver function tests, PT & APTT, complete blood picture along with blood smear and an ultasonography of abdomen with main focus on liver and biliary system.
If you have some queries, feel free to Ask. It will be my pleasure to help you out
Thanks
Regards
