A member asked:
I have lots of bruising on the front & out side of my leg. i do take 1 baby aspirin a day & inhaled steroids. what is causing this. sore in spots.

Purpura: Easy bruising can have many causes. One of the more common causes is minor trauma--hands, forearms, legs--in people on blood thinners. Something that accelerates bruising is the use of either topical or systemic steroids. I think your Aspirin and inhaled steroids are causing/worsening the problem. Do not stop them, but talk to your doctor for options.
