Are there any magic cures for under the skin bleeding in "thin-skinned"!
Question: Are there any magic cures for under the skin bleeding in "thin-skinned" elderly patients!?
Elderly patients have very paper-thin skin!. Blood vessels bleed with little or no pressure causing under skin bleeding!. Frequent blood draws exasperate the problem! This is embarrassing for patients with this condition!. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to reduce this very visible problem!? Thanks!
