A member asked:
For what length of time do cancer bruises stay on your skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? Not Clear: Not sure what you mean by "cancer bruises". Some cancer patients get bruises because either the cancer or the treatment thins the blood and they are prone to bleeding under the skin. These bruises (like any other) can take many weeks to resolve and will change through many colors as they do.
