Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us

i am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.

You may take a daily supplement of Vitamin C which would not only help with the problem of easy bruisability by strengthening of capillary walls thus reducing capillary fragility but would also help with faster resolution of hyperpigmentation.
