Hi guys here is my knee. Not a great pic but there's a lump in the middle of it the size of a 10pence piece? The shiny bit is the lump.???

Hi I have a purple bruise at the side of my knee with a red rash which extends around the whole of my knee. I have had this for maybe two years and it doesn't go away. I haven't shown it to my dermatologist yet as they are not working . I was diagnosed with Lupus at the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic. My doctor prescribed an antibiotic cream without seeing it

But that didn't do anything. I have other smaller bruises and mottled marks on my legs, which don't go away. Have you shown your bruise to a doctor yet ?

I am learning about Lupus all the time but I really need to see a Lupus expert to answer my questions and explain the symptoms fully.

I am on Hydroxychorloquin twice a day which is helping my joint pains and hair loss. Hope you can get some help with your problem.

Regards Elizabeth

No Elizabeth I just got this yesterday and my hand the day before. Yes lupus is a very steep learning curve isn't it. But hey it's all a bit more difficult in theses times. I do get bouts of this bruising thing. So I'm going to have to get it looked at. Thanks for your time and advice though. Stay safe x 👍😁

Good morning Niķki

Hope you get some help with the bruising soon. Yes Lupus is a steep learning curve, so many different symptoms . Stay safe and lets hope they find an antidote to Covid 19 very soon and we can get back to live our lives.

Have a nice day.

Regards Elizabeth
