My Mother has had thin skin on her forearms and hands for many years.

The least knock and she will have this red bruise just under her skin.

It is not like a real bruise in that it doesn't change colors, it just

fades away. Her skin also tears easily. The rest of her body is OK, it

is just her arms from the elbow down. I'm not sure it has anything to

do with LBD. It may just be old age.

My mothers skin is very thin. If she bangs into a doorway she ends up with

a big purple mark or the skin tears. She doesn't have the problem on her

head that I have noticed but she has thick bushy hair so I don't think it is

the same.

My mom takes blood thinners besides meds for LBD. Her nuerologist took her

off asprin because that was causing bruising and her skin is also very thin.

You couldn't touch her w/o causing a black and blue mark.

Is you dad on a thinner and taking asprin? If so maybe you need to talk to md

about it.

I didn't notice any thinning skin membrane, however, my dad had

patches of dry spots, on his face...that would actually dry up,

seemed to be a sort of redish, dry area. I do remember others

in the group, well, atleast in the past, this same thing happened

to their loved ones.

i havent noticed thinning per se, but i have noticed very very very dry skin,

to the point that we are on prescription lotion which still hasnt helped very

much. dad's skin is so flaky even taking his shirt off will send flakes

everywhere,

My mum has very thin skin also, tissue paper like. However, she is on

4 steroidal " puffers " 3 times a day for her lungs and the doctors

have always claimed that is what makes her skin so thin.

Once, when she was not keeping up with her puffers, all the purple

bruising went away. When she started back on them, a mere touch would

make her bruise and the skin would tear. So I think in her case it

would seem to be the puffers, as she was on them for quite some time

before she was diagnosed with LBD. But I would be very interested to

find out more about this.

Good luck with your dad.

HI, I've noticed that my mom's hair is much thinner now. Mom's skin doesn't

seem thinner but it sure bruises easier.

Unfortunately both of these symptoms come with age. The hair thinning is male

pattern baldness. It is passed down through the female to children. It does

occur in women also. Bruising skin also occurs as one ages. If I scratch

somethi8ng I could end up with a nasty dark red bruise.
