Hi, my 1.5 year old son has blue patches on both legs. These patches come and go frequently. Some tests were done and the doctor said it is because of vitamin K and gave him a shot last month in July, but the patches are still coming. I am attaching the blood report and pictures of the patches. Please help.

Could be related to capillary fragility or clotting issues. If blood reports are normal, consider a pediatric hematologist. Monitor for bruising elsewhere.

Take a APTT Test (Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test

I have a problem of bleeding from nose generally whenever the environment is hot. I have had some tests done and I am attaching my report. Please tell me what is the problem and what should be done to stop my bleeding nose?

My skin bruises very easily, even with light bumps. I have had a complete CBC blood test, and all results are normal. I am not sure what could be causing this. Please advise what might be the reason and if any further tests are needed.

Three months ago, I underwent bypass surgery. Recent blood tests show an INR of 4. My doctor has advised taking Acitrom 1 mg. Could you please explain what this means and if this treatment is appropriate?
