I see no one answered your post so sorry. Corticosteroids like pred. can cause skin thinning which can cause easy bruising. 5 months is a prolonged therapy so the steroid withdrawal can take longer. I noticed how long ago you posted and withdrawal time is varied relative to many individual factors. That being said the worst should be over for you regarding steroid withdrawal.Other medicines can cause bruising like blood thinners etc. I hope you are feeling better now. I will check to see if you post a reply. If I can be of further assistance let me know.
Best wishes
