Skin - Darker, Bruises, Veins
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone have darkened areas of the skin especially on the legs (that looks like bruising) because of their medication. My legs have darkened areas, bruise easily and my veins stand out more.

I just got a nice bruise on the side of right side of My hip and right above right eye. Can't touch that area. Ouchy! Had a Complex Partial seizure yesterday evening getting a glass of water. Then walked around into the bedroom and out the front door, back inside the house..ha ha. I go into the kitchen where My glass is laying on the floor and asked My Husband who's this?? Bahaha 😂

If you take any other
medicine, maybe it also "thins your blood,"
which would make it
easier to get a "bruise."
Some O.ver T.he C.ounter medicines do
this!

There are "vein special
-ists," that maybe would be able to help!
