Suggest Treatment For Unexplained Bruising All Over Body

My 23 year old daughter has excessive bruising all over her body. She is not in any abusive relationship so that is not a concern but she is literally covered in bruises. The doctor had told her to stop taking anything with aspirin in it and she has. She is on Adderol and another antianxiety med (sorry don t remember the name). She is otherwise healthy, one child, previous history of endometriosis. Any ideas?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome

I appreciate your concern
Bruising is due to subcutaneous blood leakage most commonly due to blood coagulation disorder, may be caused by aspirin intake, very rightly stopped by the physician. Adderall (amphetamine) and most anxiolytics do not interfere with the blood coagulation system. In my patients with such symptoms I usually do Full Blood Count with platelets and Prothrombin time with INR. This result will most likely gives a clue to diagnosis. Meanwhile the patient should avoid sports and heavy exercise etc.


Wishing you best of health

Thanks
