Purpura from HRT

I started Evorel patches 4 weeks ago, as yet have not noticed any positive difference, but at least am not crying continuously as I was on previous HRT!
But I woke up 2 days ago with lots of little bruises on the underside of my arm. Of course, on googling, there are all sorts of reasons, but I did come across 'purpura' as a side effect of Evorel. I'm wondering if this could mean something bigger, i.e. is this a blood clotting issue and should I stop using this HRT. Does this type of bruising last for long, if anyone has experienced it? Thanks for any insight. Pic attached.

I would talk to you gp. I have evorel 75 and all I get is sticky patches. That doesn't look good.

I'm covered in rectangular sticky patches on my thighs too! Yes, I think I will ring the GP on Monday. I'm extremely tired also, having to nap a lot the last week 😴

I've only been on it the same time as you. I don't get patches like that it almost looks like you've itched it in your sleep. I have loads of sticky squares over my thighs and butt 😆 it's so glamorous. I am only just beginning to feel less tired even though doctor said I'd feel better instantly! I'd get that checked

No, it's not itchy at all! More like little bruises, little bit sore when pressed.

Just checked, it's Evorel Conti, 50/170mcg.

Edited

Hi, mine just disappeared as quickly as they came. It wasn't a raised rash. How long have you got this rash?
