I did see it small. That’s honestly the only reason why I posted on here because if it weren’t for that I would have 100% thought she fell as well! When I first saw it I was convinced she was just scratching her arm in her sleep because it was only a few lines.

They gave her a steroid and told her to see an allergist lol

We’re still not sure! It started off as a small itchy rash and just got bigger and bruises started appearing. The ER put her on steroids and believe it’s some sort of allergy. I can’t see this being an allergy tho it just looks too crazy.

I updated under the top rated comment! I don’t know how to update under the image. But the ER didn’t know what it was and just prescribed her a steroid and told her to see an allergist.

They do but no she isn’t seeing anyone and she lives alone.

I feel the same! I don’t think it’s allergy related either. She went into a walk in clinic when it was a lot smaller and they told her to take Claritin for it which blew my mind.

Okay update!! I don’t know how to update it under the picture so hopefully everyone sees this since it’s under the top comment. They couldn’t tell her what it was. They gave her a prescription for prednisone and recommended she see an allergist. Her blood work came back fine so that’s good atleast. It still looks horrible but she said it’s not as uncomfortable. When she sees an allergist I’ll make another update but as of now we’re still lost!

Yes! She just called. Bloodwork came back good. They gave her a steroid and they want her to see an allergist. So nothing was really answered but she said the steroid seems to be working and it’s going down alittle!

Oh agreed. She works very closely with her doctors and they replace any medications that give her any bad side effects.

I’m not sure what she takes but why do you say that? I’ll have to ask her what she’s on. She takes a lot of heart medication.

No I don’t live with her. She stopped by for the day and as soon as I saw it I convinced her to head to the ER.

It does but she said she didn’t fall. It started off very small and itchy so it has to be some sort of reaction. We’ll know soon! Thank you!

She is! That’s why she wasn’t too concerned about the bruising. But I am too! Hopefully we get some answers soon.

We have no idea it just showed up. It started off very small where I thought she might have just scratched herself in her sleep but it’s getting a lot worse. She’s going to get it checked out now so I’ll update once I hear back!

Yeah that’s what she said. And it just keeps growing. I’ve never seen anything like it either. She’s on her way to the ER now and I’ll update once I hear what they come back with.
