Have Senile Purpura After Taking Prednisone. Help

Hi, my name is Johnny, I am 62 and have Senile Purpura. This came about after being on Prednisone for a very short period ( 2 weeks , but the Purpura started after a couple of days). Is there any new study to help me with this problem. I already take Purpurex which is the only thing I found to address the problem. But there must be something else that would help the underlying problem .
