Biotin & feeling bruised

shakybabe

Since I've lost weight I've acquired an unusual symptom.. my elbows feel bruised.. I've looked at them and they aren't and haven't hit them or fallen on them or anything but my bones are now really near the surface and seem more prominent.

Maybe they're just used to more cushioning? although my wrists were thin before really and my arms weren't really 'fat', most of my excess weight was around my middle.. so not sure why I'm getting this problem with elbows?

also.. I got some Biotin after seeing it mentioned on here then saw a post where someone mentioned getting bad acne from it. After I took some I got 5 very red spots on back of left thigh that looked like acne spots with red around outside and raised in middle.. however they are now purple and looks like bruises also? .. again.. I haven't fallen on that side heavily and the 'bruising' is in the 5 seperate areas where the spots were, rather than one big bruise if i had fallen... so i'm mystified?

the back of leg just under where spots are was swollen but after taking anti-histamines for a few days that has gone down but the purple patches are still there.. I thought if it was allergic reaction they would have gone by now (been there about a week) .. as anyone else had unusual reaction to Biotin? (I was trying it to thicken thinning hair)
