- This was news to me and might be for others as well. My physician
- told me that aspirin causes noticeable changes in the strength of
- skin. Even a couple aspirin can increase the chance of bruising or
- cutting. It takes about 6 weeks or so for this to "grow out" of your
- skin layers, should you discontinue use.
-
- For those who do lots of rubbing during safer sex, especially if body
- fluids tend to get mixed in, this may be something to think about, no
- matter how minor. (This is not a plug for Tylenol! :)
