How reassuring to hear that I am not the only one who has problems with my legs. Medication and older age means I have horrid varicose veins, thread veins, you name it, I have it! I noticed blue bruising on my feet the other day, not the look I want when I go to Center Parc with the grandchildren. My mum was the same, and she and I both have/had fair skin which burns in no time in the sun. Your very helpful suggestions will accompany me to Boots tomorrow, thank you all so much. P.S. I have used Dermablend to cover the bruising, they make leg make-up which is quite heavy but does the job and dries well, just looks rather dry and strange!
