@A MyCOPDTeam Member, if you'll click on the Q & A page and click in the little search window for 'bruising', there's a lot of good information there too.

Hi Shar
If you r on steroids that will cause problems with bruising als the steroids in inhalers
Take care

Thanks, I'd not connected the bruising with COPD ... just couldn't understand why I was starting to bruise without any real cause!

I don't think it is particularly connected to COPD, but often times it is brought on by drugs, anything with steroids. And much of the COPD medicine has steroids. We address many things in Q&A that are by-products of copd. I know that there have been several good responses for ointments to smoothe on the affected areas with good success. Actually some of them are found on Amazon.
Good luck

Thanks. I guess there's no escaping it!
