Q: bruising
asked by: joggergirl on April 22nd, 2009

I take tetracycline to reduce inflammation because of ocular rosacea and associated inflammation that goes with dry eye syndrom. I helps a lot! However, I am getting some light bruising on my upper legs only that does not want to go away. Years ago I took tetracycline for my complexion but did not experience any bruising until I was switched to minocin. What can be done about this light bruising which I assume is now being caused by the tetracycline (even though it did not used to do this to me )?

Are you taking tetracycline or minocin? When I took minocin, I can tell you it took all of 10 years for all the bruising to go away. It was unreal.
