Skin becomes thinner as people age

Dear Doctors: Why does our skin get thinner and more fragile as we age? My mom is 67, and it's happening to her. She reached for something between the couch cushions, and the pressure tore her skin. She also bruises more easily than before. How can you protect aging skin?

Friend didn’t warn her about cheating boyfriend

DEAR HARRIETTE: My guy friend knew that I was getting cheated on but didn't say anything to me about it. He never liked my ex-boyfriend. He warned me a few times that the man that I was with was not a good person, but he never gave me a specific reason as to why he felt that way, so I brushed it off. When I found out that I was being cheated on, my friend's first response was, "I tried to tell you!"
