pb50, I get these too. I think it is from my skin being so thin on my hands and arms....all those years of tanning when I was young has made my skin thinner as I have aged.
My hands and arms tend to be the primary site of these. I can barely bump my hand or arm and get these. It takes a while for them to fade away.
I put a blemish stick cream on them and it covers them....if I don't have too many! Blessings...

Thank you for your reply. I had a recent dexa scan and it said all was normal but my endocrinologist said she does not believe the test result! I tried one bone med, teriparatide, but I kept fainting. She is relentlessly pushing me to get on another bone med but the side effects are scary.
I say if she is "pushing" you then get another opinion. I use to have a rheumatologist who was for years sure I had vasculitis. One day my blood test confirmed his suspension. He was giddy, delightful in the discovery. It really made my unsure. But I trusted him and he put me on nucala for the asthma portion of symptoms. I asked all my doctors and got mixed info but agreed. He had me do 3 injections each month. A big dose I thought the but I trusted him. Very long story short, one year later I have finally healed from the results of that drug. My lesson was listen to your gut. Make sure the doctor has done all necessary tests to see if I can tolerate the drug. And do you homework.
Here’s one shot of my foot. Both are growing in brown pigment. My toes are brown and people call it “Covid toes.” I sent to two dermatologists and the diagnosis is below. They burn, I fear how much it will spread.
ASSESSMENT/PLAN:
1. Pigmented Purpuric Dermatosis (Schamberg's vs. Majocchis vs. Other)- discussed diagnosis, prognosis, etiology, and treatment with patient. There are no cures to this condition. The lesion may resolve spontaneously or become more numerous. Treatment with the over the counter herbal supplement rutoside has been shown to help. The patient should follow up if the lesions become itchy, painful, or ulcerative. Pt to treat with topical triamcinolone cream as below

I have been on prednisone for 3 1/2 years and this year began having thin skin and bright and dark red bruises (purpura I think) from the slightest bump on my arms and hands. I just finished a canister of collagen peptides and the bruises are all gone and I am not getting anymore. The collagen I took is Native Path brand. They make several formulas the one I took is labeled Collagen Peptide. I took one scoop per day in a cup of coffee. My facial skin also seems smoother and looks somewhat younger (at age 77). There was no taste that I could tell. They make another formula for bones and I am going to take that now to help my shoulder replacement heal.

1 ReactionI’m envious!! I bought some collagen peptides and had diarrhea from it - apparently a known side effect and figures it would be mine.
