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]

It is caused by chronic exposure to the sun which causes fragile, damaged skin and manifests as dark purple blotches (macules) and extensive ecchymosis (bruising) on areas of the body that are exposed to the sun on a regular basis such as the hands, forearms [godoymedical.net]

- Weakness
This weakness makes the blood vessels fragile, which means that even after a minor bump, red blood cells can leak into the deeper layers of the skin, causing the distinctive purpura to appear. [medicalnewstoday.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]

I'm still working on the right dosage because too little doesn't help as much as possible but too much causes terrible diarrhea. I think the correct dosage for me is about 2 tablets in the morning and 1 tablet at bedtime. [amazon.com]
Cardiovascular
- Vascular Disease
Vascular diseases and diabetes may also lead to develop senile purpura. However, it should be differentiated from thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), connective tissue diseases and scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) [ 3 ]. [ihealthblogger.com]
Vascular diseases —this is a class of disease affecting the blood vessels. [belmarrahealth.com]
Some vascular diseases that affect collagen in the body, such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren’s syndrome, can also cause purpura. Purpuras can also be a side effect of some cancers, including lymphoma and leukemia. [medicalnewstoday.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]

- Skin Lesion
Tretinoin increases the amount of collagen in the dermis when applied to the skin. However, applying tretinoin to the actinic purpura lesions does not improve the lesions. [medicinenet.com]
The reason these problems are so bothersome is that in youth these kinds of skin problems resolved themselves in a few days. Yet we now develop skin lesions that seem to never completely go away. [lifeextension.com]
Warfarin-induced skin necrosis starts with purpura, then progresses to: Bluish-black skin lesions with a red rim Blood-filled blisters Skin death This condition most often affects specific areas of the body. [verywellhealth.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]
In fact, the development of actual skin tears is understandably linked in elderly persons with ecchymoses and senile purpura. [7] Epidemiology Frequency United States Actinic purpura is an extremely common finding in elderly individuals, occurring in [emedicine.medscape.com]

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]
