Dark Purple Splotches
Has anyone had a problem with dark purple splotches on their forearms? I have had them for a while and if they get bumped they will bleed. Two health care professionals have told me different things about what causes them. One person told me that they are caused by prednisone making the skin thin. Another person told me they are caused by low platelets. I am completely off prednisone and thought I was getting rid of them but they have come back. My platelets are consistently low - in the 40s.
Thanks
