What Causes Bruising Inspite Of Having Weight Loss?

Question: I have been bruising easily. I have lost some weight and have been very active exercising for at least 6 months. Changed diet too. I do it take vitamins and my diet is minimal at best. I think it's a lack of vitamin issue. But my question is: can one get bruising right outside of the vagina? Like between the inner hip and the labia. Looks purple like. Not raised. Looks like a bruise. Possible?

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Due to weight loss, it is possible that the body content of collage ( the tensile fibres ) has decreased, which can lead to easy bruising.
Also, a diet lacking in vitamin C can lead to it.
Can you please post a picture of the lesion that you describe ?
That would help me to provide a better opinion.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
