Healing skin scraped off blood spots
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hello from the US. I think I get or GOT every side effect of pred. I have blood spots under skin. If skin gets rubbed off, it takes FOREVER to heal! Right now, due to both PMR and recent diagnosis of TA, I am on 50 mg pred, and started on methotrexate last Sunday, along with folic acid. I also have had a canker sore under tongue....YIKES, HOW PAINFUL! been over. Month trying to heal that with nystatin rinse... Any tips appreciated!

Just take care of your skin and use a good cream.

With regard to the canker sore, you might find that a small increase in the amount of folic acid will help. Also, if you don't already eat it, try adding some daily 'live' yoghurt to your diet, and avoid all toothpastes containing Triclosan.
I do both sympathise and empathise with your having a diagnosis of both PMR and TA - as if one isn't enough to cope with - but hang in there, it does get better.
