If i have extremely soft skin as a guy and bleed often from minor scratches, what would be the best way to toughen my skin?

See a hematologist.: Bleeding from minor scratches is more likely to be a sign of a problem with your bleeding mechanisms than with a skin problem. It would be best to talk to your primary care doctor, or better, a hematologist to do an evaluation to find out what the real issue is.
