What Causes Ring Shaped Bruises Appearing On Different Places On Body?

Hi, my friend is having ring shaped bruises appearing on her body in different places. One will go away and another will appear. They don t hurt, maybe a little sensitive for a day, but not after that. About the size of a quarter or so. She doesn t have health insurance, but I m concerned about these odd ring shaped bruises. I d live to attach a photo...just bit sure how exactly to do that. Thanks!

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
She might be having a low platelet count and hence she is developing these bruises.
Get her platelet levels checked.
Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal,
she 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.
