Cuts, scrapes and bruises not healing?
Hey all
Well anyway over the last couple of months I've been noticing that if I cut myself it takes an age to heal. For example I cut myself shaving 4 months ago and this is it only starting to heal up properly (The pink bit left by a scab fading). I have similar scrapes from where I have hurt myself for weeks and months ago and most of them just seem to have stopped healing altogether.
Now I have never in my life taken this long to heal up after hurting myself
Also I seem to be bruising incredibly easily these days. Not just the odd bruise bt lots of them just appear when I've not done anthing to cause them.
Anyone have any idea why?

go to ure doctor and have a blood test and the answers probably lie there, it wont be anything life threatenangly serious hopefuly, its most likely a low platlet count, which is involved in healing of bood vessles.
go and get it checked out

Go to your doctor, that simply isn't natural/healthy. I badly cut and bruised my shin trying to jump up, onto a trailer a week ago. The cuts and bruises took around a week to heal (it would have taken less if i didn't keep walking into things or picking the scab), so, unless i'm superhuman, what you are experiencing isn't healthy and could be life threatening.
You could be a haemophiliac (but hopefully it should have been diagnosed when you were a lot younger), you could have a simple mineral and/or vitamin deficiency (iron, vit K, vit c, etc), you might have an unbalanced diet (insufficient protein in the diet can make it very difficult for your body to repair itself and grow), basically, it could be anything and the only way to get it diagnosed and sorted is to pay your doctor(in the non sexual context) a visit.
Bit random?
DOCTOR: We've got a patient in the advanced stages of hypothermia. He's got a core temp of 30oC and has lost unconscienceness. What are we going to do?
HEALTH & RELATIONSHIPS ADVISOR DANNI: Up his vit c and water intake and he should be fine
30 mins later the patient dies. Fin.

to be fair vitamin c helps the immune system. so taking abit more may help reduce the likelihood of these cuts becoming infected.
but the op might be better with Vitamin K and A
