Suggest Treatment Bruise With Watery Blood Discharge
Question: my mother is 96 years old. her skin is very thin, last night the skin on her leg split open slightly and water and bloody discharge came out. Our there any treatments that can help her?
Brief Answer:
might be infected
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I understand your concern for your mother. She might be having thin skin because of very less subcutaneous fat.
Since she is very elderly , her immunity will be very low even towards small infections. I would advice you to see a physician and get her antibiotic course if required.
It would be little helpful if you upload a picture of the area.
Hope I answered your query. Feel free to ask more. Dr. Moumita Chakraborty
