Brief Answer: all explained one by one Detailed Answer: Hello Mam! i got through your query and lets discuss the possibilities one by one 1-Bruises in medial arms: Bruises are always explainable. If there is no trauma history then it might be the bleeding tendencies due to platelets or clotting factors. If they have not been previous pathologies and no hstory of bleeding tendencies. i would say a full blood count would help to assess platelets with some PT APTT and INR to rule out bleeding troubles. If these troubles are ruled out i am sure these bruises are innocuous then, No worries 2-Bumps in the Neck: if they have not been there for long then they will resolve. are they painful? are they mobile? have you any previous throat infections or ear infections? these bumps need examination to seek the pathology. could be a lympnode swollen from nearby infection of ear nose or throat. could be a lipoma, could be a cyst, could be a lymphoma or a metastasized lymph node( but that would be a least possible long shot).
