What can I do to strengthen or toughen my skin? (Not a metaphor, actual skin).

Lately, it seems that no only do I get bruised and scratched way more easily than usual, but it takes forever for me to heal. A scratch that might go away in a week sticks around for many weeks. Yesterday, I walked into a plastic bin in my room and scraped my leg across it. It hurt, sure, but ordinarily, I might have gotten a little bruise but today I woke up with a huge, angry scratch and a big bruise.

What can I do to fix this? Are there foods I can eat or cut down on? Should I just resign myself to being more fragile?

To forestall any bad medical predictions, otherwise, I feel fine.
