My husband is a 76-year-old farmer with thin skin that bruises and tears easily. His daily medications include Metformin, Olmesartan, Amlodipine, and Benzonatate. He has been using Metformin for about 10 years, but it hasn't helped his skin condition. He has seen a doctor, who attributed it to his age. He has had both shoulders replaced and maintains a high school weight. What can he do or take to help this problem?

I have a swollen scrotum around the testicles with no surgery and no pain. What can I do for the swelling? I have been taking my blood pressure pill this morning. How long will the swelling take to go down? I have had no surgery and no pain, just swelling around the testicles. I have a double hernia for over 15 years with no pain.
