What Causes Tiny Bruise Like Rash On My Legs And Thighs?
I have a strange rash that is like lots of little bruises mostly over my legs and thighs. I have been prescribed antihistamines but it hasn t gone at all. A few weeks ago I was on anti biotics after I had my wisdom tooth removed. The doctor also prescribed prednisone, I have also had allergic reactions and have been injected with antihistamine and steroids. I also had a blood test and my platelets were slightly low. Do you think the amount of medication i was taking the rash could be linked?

Hi,
It may be a purpuric rash caused by the antibiotic. Still, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment.
Stop the antibiotic. Take vitamin C 1000 mg daily for a long time. Apply Thrombophob ointment on the rash.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
