Question 4

why skin grafting is not an easy for all burns?

Accepted Answer

Question?: Unsure what you are asking. Some burns require skin grafting.  These are typically deep  2nd degree burns that do not heal well spontaneously or full thickness (3rd degree) burns that by their nature do not retain the dermal elements that are needed for epithelial healing.
Skin grafting is a very common treatment for deeper burns, can be quite painful and complicated but is a first line treatment.

Question 5

could easy bruising of the skin be a symptom?

Accepted Answer

Bruising: Blood-thinning drugs such as Aspirin and warfarin (coumadin) or medications such as clopidogrel (plavix) reduce your blood's ability to clot. As a result, bleeding from capillary damage might take longer than usual to stop — which allows enough blood to leak out and cause a bruise. Other causes include system diseases, liver disease, low platelets.
