i have psoriasis very badly. I also have cirrhosis of the liver. I have been taken uv treatments for a while for my psoriasis. I fell and the bruises over my body were scary. so so black. I am a black man medium complexion the color and vastness of the bruises were alarming , is there any correlation between uv treatment and the degree of bruising.

Hello,





UV treatment and bruises, no relation with each other.


Nothing much to worry as the bruises will resolve spontaneously in few days. No definitive treatment is required. You can apply ice packs for faster recovery.





Hope I have answered your query.
