Could Being Underweight Cause On And Off Bruise Looking Red Spots On The Body After Shower?

Hi. My little sister keeps getting bruise looking marks on her legs when she gets out of the shower. And in the last three weeks she has gotten these red spots on here body four times, they look like some type of rash, they usually dissapears after a day or two. Do you know what this is? She is 19 and i would call her underweight, could underweight be a reason for this?

Hi,

It may be ecchymosis developed after minor trauma. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to give viamin C tablets 500 mg daily for long time. Tell her to prevent trivial trauma.

Hope this helps.
