A member asked:

When i get a bruise or scratch an itch my body is showing the bruise or scratch marks for longer periods than i am used to.should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: Aging causes skin to thin and wounds to heal a little slower. If you are at risk for diabetes then I would have that checked.
