I wished I had talked withmy primary more about it. I mentioned it several times to my dermatologist and she said, thin skin….aging…Huh! I had blue spots appear on my feet and arms, out of nowhere. Well, I can’t say exactly what caused them, but I wish I had a Vitamin B12 test back then. I’m very deficient. Now on treatment. Get test before you start taking it. It can be a symptom, but other things can cause it too, like covid. Had that too. So, I’d get full array of tests with primary.

My spouse takes B12 as well. It seems his skin is so thin and he is on a blood thinner. I just keep a first aid kit in the car and one in the bathroom. My spouse sometimes stumbles and falls or barely touches something and he starts to bleed. Sometimes he looks like he has been in a fight. Unfortunately bandages and bandaids are everywhere! I took several off of his arm, hand and finger's yesterday. He is frustrated and tired of his illness! I try to be positive and sometimes he forgets and starts laughing about something funny! I make sure his skin is well kept! One less thing for him to worry about. Hugs to all.
