@esque I m 83 and ruined my skin living on the equator for 20 yrs without sunscreen. If I scratch a mosquito bite gently there’s a bruise. Asked everyone about a cure and there isn’t one so wear protective sleeves (TEMU) is cheap and they make short ones. Always long sleeved shirts and sunscreen on exposed skin. The red parts turn brown after gentle treatment. So now I must get Vit D from sun on my legs!

I forgot to add that while recent bruises, caused by a heavy storm door, are red, the older ones turn into a tanned look as I exercise the muscles in my arms. I think the increased circulation carries off damaged red blood cells.
