I've had easily-bruise skin (eccymoses) for about five years. My legs are covered with unsightly bruises and my arms are beginning to show signs as well. My doctor says thin skin and age (I'm 84) but I believe that something else is going on. Blood tests are normal. I bleed heavily from cuts or scratches. I have peripheral neuropathy and I wonder if there's a connection there. I've tried all the creams and rubs and vitamins with no success. Bathing suit season is a real embarrassment for me.
