My condition as of now is mild without organ involvement. my worry now is about a bruise type black mark on my right thigh which appeared 8 months back. it is still there but same size...but the colour was first mild red then blue and now blackish.

Hi there ~
I understand your concerns. SLE can be a difficult diagnosis to live with, especially because of all the side effects of the medications that you have to be taking. I think that the bruise is due to a small reaction from your medications, however I believe it is healing now. I think you should visit with a dermatologist if things are not improving.
I hope this helps. Take care! Have a lovely day!
