Should I Be Worried About The Bruises On Legs, Hair Loss And Body Pain?

I am an 18 year old female and I have been getting random bruises (mostly on my legs) and I have had one for a month and it keeps getting bigger. I have also been losing a lot of hair in past 6 months and i have recently been experiencing body aches primarily in my back. Should I be worried?

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.

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