slow healing?

Question

if i ever cut myself or have a spot or whatever it take AGES to heal and it leaves a red mark for a couple of months which eventually fades to light brown. i have marks like this from small cuts from about 6 months which just dont fade.

ive always put this down to the fact that i have very pale, delicate skin, ie. you can see all the veins up my arms and legs and i find it really hard to find make up light enough for my skin. but i'm starting to wonder whether im not getting enough protien or of some vitimin. although i do eat healthily. i use healing creams and vitiman e oil, and also bio oil.

id like to know what might cause slow healing?

Answer 1

I would go to your doc. for a check-up. They should do a complete blood panel, to make sure everything is o.k. I would see if any of your family members have the same issues? This would determine, if it runs in your family & what is normal for you.
