Hi
Does anyone find that the pupra seems to go in a cycle. I will all of a sudden, get a bunch.And then once they clear up it's good for a while and then it starts again. I find.
It affects me very much mentally.I get very depressed I don't know how to just be ok with this and accept it.

How is your pupura now? Is it getting better?
I didn’t have purpura, but I have petechiea. I was taking Exemestane for a year without serious side effects. But soon after mastectomy, I developed petechiea on my lower legs. All my blood tests are within normal range, so it must be Exemestane which I found out an article about that. When I stopped the med it went away, then I started again, it came right back. Like petechiea, pupura may be a reaction to some medication you’re taking, most notably high blood pressure meds. It could be the bc treatments that trigger the reaction to certain drugs, in my case Exemestane after my mastectomy.

I’m glad you’re doing better. It’s a terrible feeling to see it on your skin. I felt the same way about petechiea. It’s still there but not a lot.
Coconut oil sounds good. I used to message my hair with coconut oil before washing it so it wouldn’t be dry. Not putting it on scalp though. I didn’t use conditioner because it caused my hair to fall out. I used the cold press cooking coconut and warm it up before using it. I’ll try on my skin now to see if it helps. Thanks for the tip!
My sister-in-law’s mother also had either petechiea or purpura for a while then her doctor found out that it was caused by her blood pressure medication.
