Since UC, I have noticed that minor cuts and scrapes tend to not heal very quickly. They don't get infected...they just take a long time to heal. I was wondering if it was just me or if this is a part of UC.

I notice I bruise very easily and they stay around for a while. I think it may be due to 6mp.

I don't think that my healing was any slower when I was just on a 5-ASA (which is what I was on when diagnosed) but I noticed that since starting on 6mp, I healed super slow and bruised very easy. Now that I am both 6mp and Remicade, I heal even slower. I also bruise if you so much as look at me wrong!
