(342 posts)11. That's scarrification from getting ongoing IV sticks
That's almost a perfect match, in miniature, of the scars I got in the crooks of both elbows from selling plasma twice a week for two years back in the eighties. Granted they were using twelve gauge needles on me, whereas they're using much smaller needles on Trump, but elderly skin doesn't heal as well and scars quicker.
Still he must be getting a heck of a lot of IV sticks for some malady or other. Look for one of those divots to show up on his left hand because once you get that kindof scar tissue it's tough and painful to get a needle through it.

Absurd. He has old hands because he is old. I don't see chunks gone. Ridiculous.

It's definately weird looking. Like a circular burn, the skin next to the circle looks more normal.

Chunk of flesh? Nah . . . but definitely shitty circulation, courtesy of age and needles . . .
