Bruises and petechiae?

Hello all

I'm also on NRAS and have posted these pics there and some suggested vasculitis. I get them a lot in various places but never covering this area. The pics are from a couple of weeks ago but it happened again yesterday. They are like red freckles under the skin and although they didn't break the skin the area by my wrist was very warm and slightly raised.

I get a lot of unexplained bruises and dark purple spots and lumps. The GP always says it's 'autoimmune ' and likely to do with the Inflammatory arthritis but after the most recent quite dramatic lump and bruise on my leg I've been referred to haematology.

It's not the first time vasculitis has been mentioned. Does anyone else have this?

Hi - thanks for your reply. I have certain issues with my blood that are now going to be investigated. Do you get bruises too?

The rash is not MPA connected I also have bruising which seems quite common with Vasculitis
