Is Bruising On Forearms Related To Breast Cancer, Sjogren’s Syndrome And Lupus?

I bruise extremely easy on my forearms. I do have Sjogren s and Lupus. I take plaquenil. I also take arimidex after having breast cancer in 2014. What is causing this easy bruising? This bruising has been occurring for the past 2-3 years. What can I do?

Hi.

Some of the causes include diabetes, side effect of medications (e.g. birth control, hormone replacement therapy, etc.), age-related and considered normal, blood disorders (E.g. haemophilia), frequent injuries, etc. Please speak to a doctor about this.

Best wishes.
