Dermatologist, as well as primary care doctors both recommended discontinuing any blood thinning medications or supplements…ibuprofen…fish oil, etc. but concluded this was a result of aging, over-exposed skin and there was little to be done.

How can a doctor recommend discontinuing blood thinners when in fact you’re taking thinners possibly to stay alive. Makes no sense to stop an important medication, and perhaps die as a result. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and skin does not define you. Can’t believe this was a recommendation by a doctor.
