What Causes Clusters Of Bruises On Inner Arm And Thigh?

I ve been getting random, what looks like clusters of very tiny bruises on my inner arm and now my thigh. I take prolonolol, depakote ER and recently I ve been taking a lot of ibproben. It doesn t hurt when I put pressure on it, itch, sting or anything. But I m concerned it has something to do with my medicene. Any clues?

Hello,
Thanks for the concern. According to history you have tiny bruises on inner arm and now on thigh which doesnot hurt. Also you are taking propanolol, depakote ER & ibuprofen. Such kind of skin lesions are side effect of propanalol and also long time usage of ibuprofen. It may also be due to some skin disease like ichthyosis or may be due bleeding disorder like hemophilia.
So you have to immediately consult your treating physician , get investigated and start management accordingly.
Take care
