Bella Hadid, 26, has sparked concern among her Instagram followers as she shared snaps of her bruised legs and bandaged back.

While the model has spoken out about her health issues, including suffering with Lyme disease, however she left no further explanation for her bruised snaps.

The supermodel shared the topless snap showing her sitting in what looked like a hospital bed with her back to the camera.

Bella could be seen with a blue bandage on her right elbow and a series of bandages placed on her back.

A further snap showed her legs covered in large purple bruises, while a third picture simply showed a syringe full of blood.

Bella has opened up about her health issues in the past, as she spoke earlier this year about her battle with Lyme disease.

Diagnosed eight years ago, the supermodel rarely discusses the bacterial infection from which she suffers.

According to the NHS, Lyme disease is a bacterial infection that can be spread to humans by infected ticks and is treated by antibiotics.

Express.co.uk has contacted Bella Hadid's representatives for comment.

Elsewhere, Bella was pictured in Santa Monica on Saturday as she headed to a photoshoot and recently returned from a couples holiday to Qatar with her boyfriend Marc Kalman.

Bella Hadid confused her followers, even more, when she shared just a picture of a syringe filled with blood. In 2012, model Bella Hadid was diagnosed with the bacterial infection Lyme disease, cutting short her burgeoning equestrian career. In the years since, the disease has seen Bella hospitalised and regularly requiring IV drips, as she shares updates on social media platforms for her fans.
