I have it but the red & purple blemishes are not bruises caused by contact with an object. My skin is thin and the sun causes them. Now it’s called solar purpura.

Mine is both. Thin skin from too much sun worshiping as a teen, prior smoking and Irish skin makes contact bruising ordinary now. For instance, if I’m opening a box or lifting the corner of my mattress, I end up with what is shown the pic attached. I tried Retin A to try and improve skin resiliency .. no improvement.

I have a collection of overshirts I wear open with sleeves rolled up to just below elbow to hide my forearms. I find dermablend and other similar concealer type products just don't work for me.
