The bruising is under and between her fat folding, which she said this bruising had been there for a long time. This skin appears to be dry, tough, but does not seem sensitive to the touch. She said is does feel itchy frequently. Do you know this is common or what? She has diabetes and is 90 years old. Any idea what this could be?
