My father has easily bruising skin, especially in a particular season. There is no pain or itching. We have done a blood report, which shows a low platelet count, which may indicate a purpura-like condition.

Easy bruising and low platelet count could point to a condition like ITP or a temporary reaction to an infection. If the platelet count stays low consistently, your father may need a more detailed blood and liver workup. It is best to consult a hematologist to understand the cause and decide whether treatment or observation is required.
