Presentation
Background: Senile purpura presents itself as a largely unexplored challenge as it has been long thought of as a benign condition without long-term health sequelae. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Clinical features SP presents as non-palpable purpuric or ecchymotic spots on the extensor surfaces of the arms and feet and are non-tender. [3] Intraorally, SP presents as ecchymosis commonly occurring on the palate, tongue, and on the lips. [1] Ecchymosis [jiaomr.in]

Senile purpura usually presents with spots or patches present on skin, mucous membrane as well as on the organs. When blood leaks under the skin or from where small blood vessels joins together; this condition is called purpura. [ihealthblogger.com]

- Easy Bruising
Senile purpura is benign, easy bruising that affects older adults. It’s sometimes called actinic purpura. This occurs because the skin and the blood vessels become more fragile as we age, making it easier for our skin to bruise from minor trauma. [healthline.com]

Small lesions (< 2 mm) are termed petechiae, and large lesions are termed ecchymoses or bruises. Senile purpura typically affects older patients as their dermal tissues atrophy and blood vessels become more fragile. [merckmanuals.com]

Treatment
Each subsequent treatment session is tailored based on results of the previous treatment session. Maintenance therapy is also required once every 3 to 6 months. [thedermdigest.com]
In most cases, there is no treatment required for actinic purpura. However, some people dislike the appearance of the bruises and seek treatment. Your doctor can prescribe topical retinoids that thicken your skin to prevent further skin aging. [healthline.com]

Objectives: Identify the etiology of actinic purpura. Explain how to prevent the development of actinic purpura. Describe treatment considerations and limitations for actinic purpura. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient needs to be reassured about the benign nature of the disease and cautioned about minor trauma as an etiologic factor. [jiaomr.in]
Etiology Chronic sun exposure leads to skin changes that predispose patients to actinic purpura. Because of the ultraviolet-induced atrophy, the connective tissue of the dermis is no longer able to adequately support the microvasculature. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Epidemiology
We used 2 questionnaires in this study—the first to assess the epidemiology and the second to assess other factors related to senile purpura. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology SP of the skin is rather an uncommon condition. The prevalence is in the range of 1-14% in different populations. [3],[5],[7],[8] Prevalence of oral manifestations of SP has not been studied so far. [jiaomr.in]

Prevention
A new experimental oral medication known as Purpurex (New Vitality) is effective in improving and even clearing the appearance of senile purpura, while helping to prevent new lesions from occurring, according to a recent study. [dermatologytimes.com]
For example, your doctor can prescribe topical retinoids, which can prevent further skin aging, thus reducing the appearance of senile purpura. [belmarrahealth.com]
Senile purpura is not always preventable, but people can use sunscreen and protect their skin from sun damage as much as possible. [medicalnewstoday.com]
