@A MyLupusTeam Member Hey there. If you have lupus, is can be pretty common. While having SLE, I've also got discoid lupus.. so it can cause round scars to form where the body thinks trauma has happened. When I was in the hospital in Dec 2018 and had to wear the heart monitor things for a week, I have two spots that formed discs that are big round purple areas. Also, I used to have blood drawn from my right arm so often, now I have two spots just like you have on your arm. People probably think I'm an ex IV drug user but not the case. If you have any concerns, it's always good to seek medical advice from your doctor. Prayerfully it's nothing more than the lupus causing it. Please keep us posted on what you find out. Prayers for answers. 🙏

Jashetta, I have experience some bruising last month which I ended up getting a Prednisone injection. Mine were so much bigger and maroon. My arm was hurting really bad in that area and bruising seem like it took forever to disappear. I’m pray for healing for you. Have a blessed day and be safe!!

I get these a lot, sometimes they go away, lately they have started to itch a lot and swell, sometimes i feel i am going crazy because they itch so bad. My Dr. told me to use Cortizone cream for the itching. I hope this helps
