Skin bruise like
This is for my 5 yr old daughter. Last year she had some bruise blue mark on her shins. it comes and goes . and within a month it completely gone. this year also she had few of them. and also one on her forearm. she is very playful and active. we have noticed it is developing when she is very active. so this time we have done an online consultation with a paediatrician and asked to do blood test and s plasma test for morphology. everything went normal including esr CT bt etc. child has no other symptoms like fever pain tiredness etc. she started vitamin C tab 500. please give me valuable suggestions from a doctor like paediatrician. please excuse others who are not a doctor. I'll attach some of the pic which is 3 days before. currently most of the lesions are disappeared. two of then  are fading. only one pic is uploading which is on hand. it is fading. similar lesions had on leg 3-4.

Hi, from your question it appears that your child has been tested for basic blood investigations. As you stated that they are normal ( though in these situations it is always prudent to upload the reports), this essentially rules out blood clotting and bleeding disorders as well as platelet quantitative disorders, though doesn't rule out platelet quantitative disorders. The common causes of increased fragility are either genetic ( which would have presented early on, so less chances, infections ( from what you have stated,  chances of infection are less), or vitamin or micronutrient deficiencies and some rarer causes. Is she on any steroids as medication?
Next Steps
upload reports complete history including medications
Health Tips
Continue with vitamin C as deficiency can cause fragile skin, but also bleeding from gums ( not always)
