Any suggestions to help with blood bruising on arms?

Long sleeves during this heat are tough. I’m getting to the point I don’t care! Still looking for concealer that matches my arm color though!

I don’t know. I have shop for it on eBay with a woman in Slovakia! I’ve been a client for 8 plus years now. Before that, my Brazilian friend would bring it, but she only brought one tube a visit.

I’m quite speckled with bruises at times and I have tubes in the car, in my purse, in my travel kit for the bathroom, a tube with my mom. Mostly the tubes nearest my bed corners are used a lot, haha.

While it doesn’t work miracles, it actually DOES help the topical bruise fade a bit faster!

Be careful because those injured areas where the bruises are fading, are still SORE. It’s a topical affect and I havent found a comparable version here in the USA.

Makes no sense because big pharma usually likes to SELL SELL SELL!

Maybe it’s already an expired patent and now generic.

That would explain why patients in the USA are not automatically prescribed the stuff.

It’s perfectly safe as a topical.

More effective than some of the stuff we have available.

Get the gel not the cream.

The cream doesn’t work as well and it smells like Ben gay.

@anne4u -

I think of you every time I see the “zocdoc” ad where the woman uses your arm condition to get a zocdoc appt.

For her “rash”.

Watch for it. Looks like the same condition! Maybe zocdoc can help (lol)!

< sarcasm mixed with humor and a bit of prayer 🙏>

Little miracles are all around us-I still think we can figure it out.

Don’t give up.

Maybe look up some RASH websites to compare to (even tho yours is not sudden onset).

I still don’t think you should just accept it - quite yet.

My right arm looks like I've been in a tussle with an angry dog. My primary care provider is not concerned and has no explanation. I try to be careful not to bump into things. This has been going on for about 10 years - I'm 78.
What I find interesting is that my left arm is unblemished (I'm right handed).
I'm somewhat embarrassed by it. Some friends have commented. I just say I easily bruise.

Thanks Laurie, I have scoured the internet, looking at photos that matched my bruises, reading information, etc.
I haven’t seen that commercial but that’s funny. I have a feeling zocdoc probably told her the same thing my doctor told me! I’m not giving up! I’ve purchased a few creams that people here are using and am using sunscreen that consumer reports says is good! I’m putting lotion on my skin daily to keep hydrated. I drink plenty of water daily, etc.
I will keep looking for a solution, suggestions or answers as I learn to accept this condition! Not that I want to accept it but I think that’s part of making peace with this kind of thing! Thanks for your encouragement and support! Oh, I did find some concealer that matches the skin on my arms! Definitely makes the bruises less noticeable, I like that!

I found it online. I see it’s sold on eBay and there are a couple other places that sell it as well. If you look down the search results you should see places that sell it online.

Yes. Make sure you get the 40G size tube. GEL is more helpful than cream.

The smaller tubes of the gel are handy on the go.

I am already covered in speckles of a different color. Mine are easier to cover up! It’s always cold 🥶! Lol

Hi
I started getting blood spots 3 yrz ago on my arms and shins. Blood work is normal. I don't have to bump them the stuff just appears. Was told it's called benign pupura. Mostly from thinning skin and beta blocker medications. I use a vit c oil with retinol or pure coconut oil it seems to work best to get rid of them. It is very discerning and bothersome but I guess just have to live with it. I did purchase forearm protectors off Amazon and they work well if your doing packing boxes or cleaning I wear them. I feel your pain

Exercise helps some people
