is there anything I, or a doctor, can do to alleviate the bruising from thin aging skin on my arms. I know it is age related loss of fat, and sun damage, but it is very disturbing - i bleed or bruise at the slightest touch or bump. This is only on my forearms. Long sleeves? topical creams?
sunscreen? alpha hydroxy acid?
