The tops of my forearms bruse & bleed very easily. why all the bleeding under the skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Purpura: Often times bruising can be caused by thin skin, which can be age related or secondary to medications such as prednisone. Blood thinners such as Aspirin or Coumadin (warfarin) can also cause or exacerbate this type of condition. The medical term is purpura.
