From Becky on the Road again

I hate to log on when I am using public computers but its just me - Becky

I bruised very easily too and most of the time I don't even remember what or if I did anything. I do take an aspirin a day and the omega 3s and that may have alot to do with it. Skin mets do not look like a bruise. They look much more like a red rash or skin colored pimples - and the rash is not just red like a sunburn but is usually more pimply like prickly heat.

However, if your wife hasn't been taking supplements that thin the blood (these include aspirin, vitamin E (even if it comes from a multi vitamin), omega 3/fish oil, curcumin/tumeric,rosemary (these are the ones that come easily to my mind) and she gets more than just this one bruise, she should mention it to a doc in case it is a deficiency. However, it probably is nothing. Just starting aspirin therapy can do it and if she has and ends up bruising alot, she might do well with taking it every other day instead.
