We all know that our meds can cause thin skin, but what can be done
about it other than discontinuing the meds. Does anyone else have
this? It makes a small bruise look like we fought with an
alligator!

Justme I have the same problem. I think it's the prednisone. I give myself injections of enbrel and I not only have reactions at the site, I get these bruises that don't go away for weeks. Any kind of bump or cut it a major deal. I wish I knew a solution. I guess it's the price we pay. I can just brush against something and I will have a bruise. There are times when I look like I got beat up. All I know is that the bruise wasn't there the night before, but in the morning, there it is. Guess I beat myself up when sleeping.
MarisaI have always been like that, esp. on the legs. My mom too.
