Psoriasis itself does not typically cause bruising. However, some people with psoriasis may find they bruise easily. Here are some potential reasons:

- Medications: Certain medications used to treat psoriasis, like blood thinners or NSAIDs, can increase bruising.
- Vitamin Deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamins like C or K can lead to easier bruising.
- Thin Skin: Corticosteroids, often used in psoriasis treatment, can thin the skin, making bruising more likely.
- Scratching: Scratching itchy psoriasis plaques can damage blood vessels, leading to bruising.

If you notice unusual bruising, it's important to discuss this with your healthcare provider.
