Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query.

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

Get platelet levels checked.

Tylenol or ibuprofen further decrease platelets.

These may not help you

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.

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
