Q: My Husband has a bruises across his chest and arms! Lupus?

My husband just turned 33 last month. He has been waking up with bruises across his chest, but only one at a time then. In the past month he now has 4 right across is chest above his nipples and now on his arm by his armpit. He is always tired and isn't in good health but not bad neither. All the bruises are there they are just yellow now. They seem to not want to fade away. I have been doing some research on the internet and only thing I get is Lupus.With these results. Can anyone help?

Could be. My dad has lupus and bruises like a peach. He has had some bruises on him for years due to his low platelet count which is from his lupus. Your hubby probably needs to see a doc and have some bloodwork done. Make sure they do an ANA (anti-nuclear antibody) test which is the marker for lupus. The bruising and lack of energy could also be a result of any other number of things from anemia to clotting factor disorders to diabetes. Good luck and I'm sure your doc will come up with an answer for ya
