Bruises that leave a small area of discolouration

If you are on blood thinners an unexplained bruise needs looking at.

My bruises hardly ever completely disappear now. I'm sure it's down to age.

I m the exact opposite I can bash myself so hard but never get a mark I ve always been like this (perhaps I m just thick skinned) Funny how different we all are isn’t it

I think it can be hard coming to terms with ageing. I used to have lovely skin, thick hair and I was STRONG. Now in my 70's, I look at my skin and it's wrinkled and marked, my hair has thinned and I am no longer STRONG. But, I am still here whereas so many of my friends are not. As we age our skin gets thinner, we bruise easily and we mark, honestly it's nothing to worry about unless you are much younger and have other symptoms. I find a good concealer works wonders, it even covers some of my varicose veins!

Thanks crazyH! Do your bruises take a long time to heal and are you left with slight discolouration sometime?

Yes, I too bruise easily and very often, cannot recall when or where I bumped myself. You’re not alone ?
