@mcgeehin I’m on 1 mg of prednisone. I’ve been on prednisone since end of March 2025 (& have gone very low tapering this year) & added methotrexate end of May, 2025. My skin is still incredibly fragile. Red bruising at the slightest bump, skin tears at any prick I get from branches outside. Quick to bleed. I can even wake up with a red blotch bruise on my hands or arm just from how I sleep!
I don’t what to do about it. I am 73 & the bruising is unsightly. Embarrassing!

@kare1
Thank you for your response. I will certainly be asking about this at my next Dr appointment.
