A member asked:
Is there any vitamin that will reduce the amount of bruising and / or bleeding from my thin skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitamin C: Assuming you don't have a bleeding disorder or issue w/your blood count/platelets, you are dealing with easy brusing on the arms/hands we call solar purpura from sun damage and skin aging. Sometimes taking oral vitamin c (500 mg daily) reduces this. Sometimes applying topical arnaca gel helps. But this is a hard problem to reverse.
