Bruising On Arms, Bleeding. Using Neosporin. Medicine?
I am 62 yrs old and I am starting to bruise really bad on my arms........Sometimes they bleed and when they do I put a Band-Aid on them. Well this last time I went to take the Band-Aid off it took my skin with it.....Its about the size of
a quarter........What do I need to put on this because it is very sore to the touch and don't want to use any more
band-aids. I have been putting Neosporin on it but its still burns and sore.

Hi, it appears that you have cellulitis, and you also must have diabetis as well, other wise they cant be so bothersome, any how you are in a critical condition, &should immediately consult a surgeon.
You may need to have culture and sensitivity of the discharge from the eruption, and use the medicines according to the report. Thank you.
