My skin is so prone to tearing the slightest bump results in a tear, bruising is common also, as I have reduced prednisone on numerous occasions my skin visibly thickens. What is left is so many visible scars from the previous tears.

When i was on a extended high dose i used second skin dressing similar to what my staff used on the elderly in the senior's facility i managed enabling good healing

Hi Denise,
You can also use self adhering bandage wrap that sticks to itself. You can get it at Target , CVS etc or even on Amazon.
