Unsatisfactory explanation of recent bruising on forearms/hands

If I so much is bumper door knob an entire chunk of skin comes off. Sorry, pretty gross but it’s true. I have to push the skin back and then tape it over and hope that it stays. It’s like my arms from the elbow to the knuckles are made out of tissue paper. Do us all a favor and if you get any information about anything that can be done please pass it on! The only thing I have found so far is a cream called Dermend. I’m not sure it’s done anything, I’ve used it for a while. Good luck and keep us posted!

HI @tcokeefe, I too have thin skin and have gotten mysterious skin tears that seemingly take a long time to heal. I bandage them and soon have several more. Although I can blame our 3 cats for some of the wounds, some of them just appear. None of this was happening prior to surgery and dropping Advil every day, so I'm thinking there is a connection in there somewhere. Perhaps even internally when they went inside 3 different places.
I'll keep you posted on whatever the dermatologist tells me. Thanks!

I have the same problem with skin tears, but I find that I can’t even put a bandaid on it, because when I take it off, my skin comes off with it. I finally found Bandaid “sensitive skin” bandaids, which aren’t as sticky. I’ve been using DermEnd for years, but I don’t really think it does anything.
