For me it’s just so strange that it seems to have gotten worse since I returned from Fla in April and hadn’t even been in the sun since I got back here. It just is a relentless condition and nothing really helps to heal these awful bruises. I have to wear leg makeup in order to wear shorts or a bathing suit. It gets pretty expensive! I would love to know what vitamin supplements might help to thicken skin and help lessen bruising I’m sure there are some that could help.

I think I read vitamin K helped and I used a cream that had vitamin K in it, but did not seem to make any difference.
My understanding from my dermatologist is sun damage from years ago I have sent my skin made worse by my steroid use for my auto immune disease. I don't think it's so much current son that causes the problem.
Yes, I've been trying to find very thin long sleeve shirts to wear when I get a particularly hideous spot
