How To Reduce Bruises On Arms?
I am 69 and take nifedipine and a statin. I find myself getting easily bruised, especially on my arms as I am fairly active ( beach volleyball, actively gardining, etc.). These bruises take a couple of weeks to finally disappear. Is there any way to lessen the bruising or speed its disappearance?

Hi,
These bruises seem to be related to old age and thin skin. I would recommend you to take tablet vitamin C 500 mg twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturizing lotion on the entire arms and legs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
