default
Posted on Wed, 2 Oct 2019
Question: I am a diabetic and noticed when I came out of the shower, both sides of my trunk showed signs of internal black and blue marks like organ hemorrhage under my skin. Could it be the result of a med I am on?

Brief Answer:
No side effects of the medications you are taking.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.


The two medications that you are using Januvia and simvastatin are not known to give these side effects of black and blue marks like hematomas.

I want to know if you are taking other medications such as blood thinners which may be causing these effects.

Also, if you are having problems with your liver can cause these symptoms.
Please do a total blood count with differentials and liver chemistry tests.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
