Any suggestions to help with blood bruising on arms?

Thanks so much for the tip on Westmore. Now I’m wondering what moisturizer you like! Also, which arnica cream did you use? Costco has a new product called Skintensive Arnica Bruise Cream, 2-piece Set.

I’ve been on oral steroids for 21 years and my skin is paper thin. Regular lotion causes too much friction. I’m still looking for a better alternative. I appreciate any tips.

Hello there! I use the Arnicare Bruise Gel whenever I scrape, bump and know immediately I am going to "blood bruise" ... our local pharmacy carries it. The manufacturer's name is Boiron. As far moisturizer, I confess to using whatever I happen to have on hand. CeraVe makes a great moisturizer, but I'm not consistent when it comes to brand. Next time I am in Costco, going to pick up the Skintensive, thanks for sharing.

I’m with you, my skin is so thin! It slouches off, tears and cuts with the slightest scrape. It concerns me. A few nights ago I was sleeping and moved positions. I guess I drug my elbow across the sheet while moving and it was as if I got road burn on my elbow. I woke up in the morning and had an egg shaped piece of skin that sloughed off my elbow. Made a mess bleeding. Not good.

Costco usually carries good quality products. I ordered my Arnica Gel on Amazon. It’s from DuLac Pharma, Arnica Gel 98%. It’s worked well for me. If my arms are covered in bruises I definitely notice a difference when I use it daily. My bruises fade much faster.

Best wishes in your search! Please share if you come across something that helps.
