10 Causes of Purpura
Cause #3: Medications
There are a number of medications that can interfere with the production of blood platelets. There are also several medications that can indirectly interfere with blood clotting. In either instance, these medications lead to problems with bruising and bleeding disorders.
One of the most common types of drug known to do this is steroids. Steroids are sometimes prescribed by medical professionals. However, many people use steroids without supervision in an attempt to gain muscle mass. Unrestricted use of steroids can cause a number of health problems, including an increased risk of developing purpura.
