Its better this morning but I did take pics. To show the doctor at my 1st appointment. I'm currently not on any meds. So I know its not medicine related. Also i avoid the sun as much as possible.

Do you take methotrexate? If so, get it checked out by a doctor because it could be affecting your platelets.
