How Can Easy Bruising On The Skin Be Treated?
Thank you! I am 59 years old, in the last 3 months I bruise very easily and my skin cuts very easily and the cuts do not heal fast at all. I can cut my finger by opening the car door, bleed forever and then red and marked up for weeks. Am I missing vitamins? What can I do?
