Excessive bruising

I have been experiencing more then my normal amount of bruises on my arms and legs. I have recently lost 60lbs ( intentionally) so I am not sure if that has something to do with it

Could you kindly send photos of the lesions on follow up chat ? This could be a vitamin C deficiency - however, its not very common. Also would suggest you to get your platelet count checked / else visit a qualified dermatologist near you and discuss in detail. Warm regards, Dr Govind Suresh Mittal.Bengaluru
