skin

I have very thin skin and keeps brusing and it looks horrible but now coming up to summer I am worried people will see it as it is all over my body except my scalp.
is there anything you can suggest or help me with.
Thanks Irene :? :? :?

Re: skin

Estrogen deficiency of the menopause can have significant effects on skin which can become thin, itchy and can bruise easily. Best to get a blood count checked in case any other cause of bruising but assuming this OK, worth discussing fruther with your doctor and possibly consider the use of HRT, which can help these skin changes.
