A member asked:

I had double bypass 3 yrs ago take 81mg of asprin a day i'm bruising very easily especially on my hands what can i do to help with bruising?

Bruising: The thin skin on the back of your hands makes easy bruising all the more likely. However you must not stop your aspirin treatment. Protect your hands and forearms from too much sun. Atopalm moisturizing cream has given some skin protection.
