What Causes Bruising On Skin After Exercising?

Lately I have had excessively dry skin, I sweat terribly and now I'm having my veins burst under my skin. Like I will get a swelling, then it turns to a bruise, and it will be after exercise or after bending over, not after getting injured. this has happened on my hand, my thigh, and now my foot. It's just odd, any clue of what could be going on?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It seems you are suffering from dry skin, along with vasculitis.
2. The thin sin, is allowing for the blood vessel to get damaged, which leads to loss of blood subcutaneously and hence the bruise formation.
3. Need to improve hydration. Dehydration is causing dry skin. Avoid hard soaps. Use soft soaps and bathing only once a day to preserve skin oil to avoid getting it dry. Also moisturizers for skin along with Vit A supplements is necessary. Bruise will take longer to disappear, usually upto 2-3 months. Avoid further abrasions of skin.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
