Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for following up.Bruising is usually result of hit due her epilepsy attack or other causes. She has lots of bruisings thats why i suggest her blood vessels are weak and easy injured.In addition we can check blood test and platelates with clotting for excluding of some haematological diseases. For speedy disappearing of bruisings you can apply small amounts heparin ointment, for example- teombophob, if she complains a pain then apply diclophanak gel for relief

All the best
Be healthy!
