Hi Mike, My husband's platelet counts have always been normal yet he bruises easily. So, it is due to the fragile skin and not because of low platelet counts. Gleevec inhibits C-kit so this has some effect on the skin. I will be looking into the other remedies suggested by CMLers on this thread for skin problems. Roy has not used anything on his skin, yet, just keeps on putting bandaids.
Best Wishes, Anjana caregiver to Roy --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
