Hello,

Bruise on different body parts while on antibiotic for sinus infection may pause issue of disturbances with underlying coagulation factors of liver or effect on platelets. Kindly consult your doc for such bruises and get basic lab tests of platelet count, bleeding, clotting and activated partial thromboplastin time for precise diagnosis and further care in accordance to lab results.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
