Any suggestions to help with blood bruising on arms?

@woondogger I wear long sleeves almost all the time, or a light sweater over my shirt, just to hide these bruises. Putting a bandaid on causes another bruise, or skin tear! What's up with that!!! Now the summer is here, I wore short sleeves yesterday to my doctors' appointments. I need to take a baby aspirin each day because of the possible side effects of one chemo med. We figured my DNA [Irish/Scottish], the chemo meds, and my kidney disease all contribute to the issue. Fortunately the bruises are usually only on my arms. I am confident if my medical team feel it is something more, we will investigate.

Wishing you well this morning! I have an allergy to latex, therefore I am careful with bandaids and use the fabric type. My hands usually bear the brunt of bruising especially if I forget gloves, which of course I do from time to time! Take good care.🌻
