On my right upper thigh and my right lower leg and the back of my right calf how does this happen? I always bruise easily but this is ridiculous and it seem like I’m getting more and more than normal. I’ve been up all day since I came in from church this morning packing because I am leaving for vacation for a week. I just hope that I can finally get a little R&R once I’m away from home Thanks Lupus Warriors. Love you lots. 🦋🦋🦋

I get bruises on the top of my arms, so I asked the doctor and he said it was a side effect from my lupus. Meds, it's the one that starts with the HI can't say it.\n Have a great day.
Please see your doctor ASAP! Increased bruising or nosebleeds, gum bleeds, etc., could indicate. low platelets due to lupus or other blood disorder, as @A MyLupusTeam Member says.
If you can't get an appointment, please have urgent care check a CBC for you and then enjoy your vacation, Lenore. They can call you with the results. Better safe than sorry!
Here's another possible cause

Good idea 💡
Some medications such as Prednisone cause us to bruise the easily. I will look up other causes and add my findings.
