Been to the Doc about mine. They are ugly and last about 2 weeks. I WISH they were bruises. Bruises look so much better!!
The Med opinion is just what you said:
Condition:non life threatening.
Cause: Sun exposure
Result: thin skin with decreased collegan below the surface to buffer the bumps that
then cause broken vessels under the skin that pool into those lovely Senile Purpura
splotches
TX: none really.
My doc did say to try some gylcolic acid cream which should help to rebuild the collegan. but no real success so far.
Lots of those little round band aids are included in my fashion accessories these days. In the winter at tleast we can wear long sleeves.
