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.

Hi
Right now it seems to be better.I only have one spot on my left arm.That just appeared yesterday. I started using coconut oil on my skin and it really seems to have helped. I also have had some red light therapy sessions. I have always felt it from medication. I take crestor five milligrams Is every other day. Along with a lot of other medication for is poor heart. Also , my skin is so dry for menopause.
