Russia (bbabo.net), - Bruising can occur on the skin of people with COVID-19. Pavel Trakhtman, a hematologist, spoke about this, recalling that coronavirus affects clotting: the blood becomes thicker, flows worse through the vessels and stagnates in the tissues.

In an interview with Sputnik radio, the doctor said that among the drugs used to treat COVID-19, there are anticoagulants that are prescribed according to strict indications. Sometimes taking these medicines can cause bruising or bruising.

Trachtman emphasized that if bruises began to appear on the body during treatment, it is urgent to tell the attending physician about this so that he more carefully examines the blood coagulation system and adjusts his appointments.

The hematologist also noted that blood clotting disorders can be associated not only with coronavirus infection. Therefore, the appearance of hematomas in any case requires an appeal to a specialist.
