A member asked:
If i have hemophilia, are bug bites a serious concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A hemophiliac's platelets work normally and they are quite sufficient to close these, the nicks you may get shaving, paper cuts, small knife cuts and in fact all but rather severe or repetitive injury, even when the hemophilia is severe.
