What can be done about brusing of the skin when it bruises when just lightly bumped. It leaves red spots.?

Any time I hit my arm it is like a blood vessel breaks and it leaves a red blotch on my skin that looks like blood under the skin. I would like to know how to get rid of it quickly, it looks terrible. Is there some kind of treatment. and is there anything that can be taken to prevent this?

As we get older and our tissue and outer skin become thinner and less durable - the more easily we skin up, bruise, get skin tears etc. So there does come a point that I don't think anybody can help us with. But, for right now, I know of one thing... I try to be aware of when I bump or stumble or fall into something, and the minute it happens I reach for a piece of ice and rub it back and forth over the place for several minutes. I just did this day before yesterday, the second I hit my leg on the dishwasher door that was open and laying out across my path. It was an instant reaction and one I had not tried before, but now I remember hearing it. Long story short... usually I'm real red, then the next several days it gets to go from blue to black. I did the ice cube and you can't even tell where I hit my leg - I was almost running at the time - so I banged it really hard. So, the ice will keep the blood from coming to the surface and from pooling underneath our skin.

You should see a doctor and have your bleeding time checked. If bleeding time is normal, there is not much that can be done, except to avoid trauma.
Reply:try really hard not to brush up or bump into anything
Reply:Are you taking any medications? I do the same thing and I'm wondering if thats what causes it. I have athsma and use Advair and I also take Tylenol for joint pain. They just go away after a few days, don't know how you would make them go away quicker.

Reply:Hmmm....Well, Oregon Grape Root is the best for building up your blood vessels, which is what I think needs to be done...check with your doctor, though definitely. Nettles are also helpful in that regard. I am at windstarhealing.com if you have any questions
