Detailed Answer:
Hello ,

already reviewed the attached reports.
Your symptoms seem to be related to unexplained bruises.
There are many medical conditions that can cause these bruises.
They can be related to vitamin deficiencies such as Vitamin K deficiency and vitamin C deficiency.
They can also be related to some blood diseases.
So, I recommend to do a complete blood count, platelets level, coagulation time and hemorrhage time.
Meanwhile, I suggest using a vitamin K cream for local application.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi again dear,

The examinations help in detecting the cause of the bruising.
If it is a vitamin deficiency such as Vitamin C or vitamin K deficiency, you can take the vitamin as a supplement.
If it is a low platelet level, you should follow up with a hematologist for a specific treatment.
