Wow, those do not look good. I have had the same issue with easy bruising, but thought it was because I have taken blood thinners in the past (2018-2019-for 13 months). Mine arise from an actual "bump into something, or scrape" I have purchased sleeves to cover my arms when I am doing any yard work, and another pair to wear in the house. My dermatologist prescribed from a compound pharmacy a "dream cream".. It helps when the bruises leave my skin brown, but not the actual read/purple marks. I also use Bio Oil. I try everything possible. These bruises are very unsightly. Covid has left so many of us with a variety of issues. Will it ever end?

This looks exactly like my skin after I had COVID. I even had a pretty severe skin tear. Not sure it’s because of COVID (which I had in Jan, 2023), or a steroid rinse & spot I’m taking for an autoimmune condition I have.

I'm starting to wonder if my own case including bruising and blood problems might have been because of Covid/Long Covid, whereas I was suspecting the vaccine. The thing is that I didn't have any Covid flu-like symptoms, which would have alerted me, but that could be explained by having had the 2 Covid vaccines and 2 boosters. Bruising is a known symptom of Covid but I haven't seen much discussion of the implications including misshapen red blood cells, and low platelet and WBC counts.
