Bruising of the Skin Jun 17, 2009 Since Nov 21, 2003, I have been clean from crystal meth. Shortly there after, in March 2004 I found out my status as being HIV+. From that point on, I have taken an active role in my healthcare. Recently I have noticed tat my skin is bruising more easily. At the age of 31, the bruising is alarming to me. What can I do to try to keep me skin at its healthiest. |

 You may need to have your platelet count checked as well as bleeding indices. Also avoiding NSAIDs such as aspirin or ibuprofen may decreased bruising/bleeding in some patients. Avoiding excessive UV light and seeing a dermatologist if problems persists may be worth considering. KH | |||||||||
