Have you tried Arnica cream lucindross? It may help get rid of your bruises. You should be able to buy it from Boots or any heath shop :-) x

Well it has worked for me in the past. Give it a try as you say sweetheart, it may work for you also. Good luck and let me know how you got on with it, good or bad :-) xx

Hi sorry about your skin mine is the same however, everything I have tried has not worked, my GP tells me that I just have to accept it but I am having some difficulty coming to terms with it.

The Bio oil suggestion worked well for me ... better than arnica. I bought it from the local herb/therapy shop. They were very helpful and had obviously met this problem before. I think Boots stock it too.

Try either your doctor or the local 'health food' shop. They are often quite good. Best of luck, hope you are improved soon.

Good luck anyway
