Suggest Treatment For Bruises On The Hands.

I am 72 years old and suffer from continuous brusing on the back of my hands and cannot even shake hands anymore without causing bruises. The skin is thin and the blood vessles appear near to the surface. I take Ibuprofin for foot problems and 5mg of hytrin each night for BPH; nothing else. Problem also exists on arms if bumped at all. Any suggestions for treatment?

Hello sir. Ibuprofen is known to cause brusing or even bleeding. Kindly consult your doctor and take an alternative drug for your foot problems. That should solve your problem.
