Can Allergy To Sulphur Medicines Cause Bruises On Shin?

I have bruised spot just below my knee. My doctor says it looks like a sulfur reaction. It's been 4 weeks now and it's not any better. He has replaced my meds that have sulfur in them. I am a diabetic and I don't want this to lead to another problem. I hope you can shed some light on this for me. Thanks

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Skin rashes are also relatively common with sulphur drugs.
Gastro-intestinal side effects are the most common following sulphur drugs.
As you are doctor has identified and advised you to stop this drug and replaced with other drug nothing to worry all the rashes will subside gradually.
The sulphur drug will be excreted out of the body.
You need to inform all the doctors whom you consult for different aliments regarding your allergic to sulphur drug in future.
