@contentandwell Hey, when did you sneak in and take pictures of my arms? My dad had these, I do, also. Dr's have told me it's because of taking aspirin low dose or vitamin E, genetics, being fair skinned, compromised immune system. Most likely a combination of all of them! I get these marks and don't even recall a brush against something.wear sunscreen. Arnica, as @lioness commented, is great for bruises. It is homeopathic, and does take a bit of time to work. I just figure these are badges for living, and don't worry too much what others think of them ;))

@gingerw I don't remember either of my parents having them, but my father died at 65, and my mother at 67. I didn't get these until last year when I was 70.
I have all of these also, "because of taking aspirin low dose or vitamin E, genetics, being fair skinned, compromised immune system" except vitamin E. I have had your attitude most of the time but I really hope to not have them for my son's wedding. I am trying to find a long, lacy sleeved dress, just in case. Lacy sleeves because they won't be as warm as solid sleeves. The article about Dermend said it was developed specifically for this condition.
