I am a 75 years old female. I smoke and was recently hospitalized because the doctors tell me that my dermis is separating from my epidermis. It is painful, it is causing massive subcutaneous bruising on both of my arms that appears marbled. The doctors cant seem to figure out what is wrong with me and it is getting worse. Can you tell me what is wrong?
