Bruising under nails

[ITPAffecty]

Hello All,

My Legs finger nails are like this from past a year and my ITP was diagnosed 6 yrs back. I have tried all treatments and nothing worked. Now I am not on any medication in particular, occasionally i take Revolade. I am sure my count is below 20k based on my bruises and I don't like to make my life worst so not going for blood checks freequently. I feel the size of those paches increasing day by day. Do any of you also face samething? I know, increase in counts might fix this but any other suggestion apart from that?

Yup only good thing is to find this forum. I wish I should have found this when I was diagnosed initially.. Without knowing about it, I shed lot of tears on my situation. Feels silly if I think.. So please feel lucky for finding this sooner in your life..

What helps my bruising is vitamin c and pomegranate extract

[ITPAffecty in reply to dede7]

I tried them too for a month but didn't see any improvements so stopped. May be I have to continue atleast for 3 months.

[ITPAffecty in reply to dede7]

I eat Kiwi fruit almost everyday and one fruit covers our whole day requirement of Vitamin C, still as usual I get Bruises every month. I started taking Aloevera capsules from 10 days as someone suggested, no changes I feel yet.
