View Full Version : Blood marks under skin

If my Husband just lightly scratches his skin (it's not itchy and no rash) at first blood would come right underneath the surface. Now blood will come to the surface.
It's like his skin has "all of a sudden" become very thin.
What started as "dry skin" we thought, has now turned into severely dry, flaky skin that will come off like snow, then the blood marks started to appear.
If he (very lightly) makes a circle on his arm, the blood mark will be in the shape of a circle, and the mark usually stays for a few days (only sometimes turns to a bruise).
This will happen on his arms, legs and face.
His blood work is fine (CBC and CMP).
Hope someone can help, thanks a lot!

Problems like these always should be discussed with you physician.

Def a trip to the doc.

CBC (complete blood count) and CMP (complete metabolic panel) are useful as a general physical, but if he's mildly scratching and there appears to be bruising + blood, there may be a bigger immune problem.
