16. Thinning Skin
Cortisol can cause the skin to get thinner as a result of numerous hormonal changes in the body, and this can then also lead o easier bruising and slower healing. Therefore, if you notice that you have the appearance of unexplained bruises around your body, then Cushing’s disease is one possible explanation.
That said, there are actually a number of different potential causes for increased bruising – including a lack of clotting agents which can cause the blood to continue bleeding after an injury. This can potentially lead to dangerous situations, so it is very important that you get any unusual bruising checked out – whatever it might turn out to be.
