Bruising : Bruises are common following minor trauma on the arms and legs from normal activity. If more bruising is occurring or spreading to other areas a physician will check the blood to make sure there is not a platelet problem.

Get this checked out: Easy bruising can be a sign that something more serious is happening internally. I would suggest you see a health care provider to get this evaluated. It may be nothing, but i would not leave that up to chance.

See your provider: Please see your health care provider. Your symptoms may be due to your significant weight loss, but you should be evaluated for any problems with coagulation (blood clotting).
