Suggest Treatment For Unusual Bruises With Skin Infection

My mother 83 years old. She is under aggrenox twice a day and high blood pressure medication (bystolick 10 mlg a day, norvax 10 mlg a day) plus supplements VitC; vitD3; Coq10 400ml; curcmen 100ml; Omega 3; Zyflament 200mlg. All of a sudden, she got spontaneously bruises, like little bump and 15-20 minutes later gets flat, dark purple, and on the next day or so inside of bruise white circle (also flat). Tomorrow my Mother will have CBC test. Thank you very much

Hello,
Thanks for the query.
you might be having a low platelet count and hence you are developing these bruises.
Get your platelet levels, bleeding and clotting time checked.
Sometimes spontaneous bruising might be associated with dangerous systemic conditions.
I suggest you to get a thorough check up done.
Usually it takes around 2 weeks for the bruise to heal,
you can use oint thrombophobe to get a faster relief.
A photograph would have helped me better.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
