What Causes Bruises On Stomach After Using Alphanavar Steriod?
Question: Hey Doc,
I was taking Alphanavar a steroid to help me cut weight, I'm in Afghanistan and I'm also taking doxycycline because of the malaria over here. I just recently started to get random bruises on my right side of my stomach area and my back a little bit. Could this be caused by either of the supplements I mentioned? I stopped taking the steroid already. Thanks for your help and have a great day.

Brief Answer:
it is due to steroid
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Steroids decrease the thickness of skin and also reduce platelet synthesis.
This might be the cause of bruising.
Just relax, stop steroid and wait for a month. Slowly you will recover.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
