A member asked:
Is there a reason why a person with lupus should worry about bruising?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Like most things: It depends on the degree. Mild bruising no biggie. Moderate bruising common on prednisone. Severe bruising would bring in possibility of low platelets from disease or drug and would require further evaluation.
