Blisters

[Alazarin]

have now been off pred for nearly 4 months. Still have pains on moving, but in different places.

my new hell is blood blisters, Dr thinks Pemphigus. Hooray another Autoimmune condition to add to my collection.

Anyone else suffered this.

Can't remember anyone here - but there were a few on the LupusUK forum.

Oh! Poor you 😫. I’ve not heard of this. What is your doctor doing for you?

[piglette]

Is it a blood blister or purpura which are much flatter on the skin and normally reddy purple?

[Miserere in reply to piglette]

I seem to develop purpura at the least trauma - assume because skin is weaker/thinner on steroids. Just pruned some raspberries and one has come up without me noticing. Blasted things. Just something else to add ... I hope it doesn't continue when/if I ever get off Pred.

‘Fraid to say it does [but a lot less]..although older skin is prone to anyway….

[Miserere in reply to DorsetLady]

Ah, well - another thing to look forward to. Thanks, DL.

It’s usually pruning roses for me!

[Miserere in reply to DorsetLady]

You have my sympathy - I love pruning, though, so will not be put off!

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Miserere]

Should get some gloves with longer sleeves-but never seem to think about it when in garden centre…. Or can’t find any suitable.

[Miserere in reply to DorsetLady]

I forget to put mine on ... until it's too late, of course. 🙃

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Miserere]

Since I got to single figure pred doses I don't develop purpurae at all! That is after 14+ years on pred.

[Miserere in reply to PMRpro]

I am on single figures and didn't develop it when on double ... 2.5 years on pred.

[piglette in reply to Miserere]

I don’t know where they come from. I have just got the biggest I have ever had. I get a cheap thrill by checking them when I am swimming and check the numbers when I am resting at the end if the pool. I swear they increase when I am swimming!

[Miserere in reply to piglette]

Are you sure Jaws isn't in there with you???

[piglette in reply to Miserere]

That must be it!!

a proper blood blister, which bursts, messily, heals a bit, then starts again

dr prescribed Betnovate cream
