What are common or normative age-related changes in the skin?
ANSWER:
The skin of older adults becomes naturally thinner and drier. This makes it less able to regulate hot or cold temperatures. This also makes the skin more susceptible to cuts, bruises, and blisters. The skin coloring of light-skinned people undergoes further changes in that the number of pigment-containing cells in the outer layer decreases and those cells that remain have less pigment overall. This results in even lighter skin. Age spots and moles appear more often, and knotty bluish irregularities in blood vessels, known as varicose veins, may appear. Varicose veins tend to appear on the legs.
