@megmaine, You surely called it just like it is. It is one of those "As we age..." deals. Yes, the hair gets thinner and the skin thins. I told a friend about senile purpura and he was alarmed at the name. I told my good doctor and he said, "You can call them activity bruises." They do not hurt any less with that name, but it makes it sound like we are really busy. With all good wishes, @joybringer

Joy…happy new year from your fellow bruiser….good thing about living in a cold climate, I can cover myself from head to toe! I’m headed to dermatologist this week to see if any correlation between purpura and thinning hair and of course hoping that a miraculous remedy has been discovered. I ordered some Helichrysum italicum oil after reading that some saw good results so I’ll let you know when it arrives. DerMend still the daily treatment (Walmart much cheaper) onward!
