What Causes Red Spots On The Arm?

Brief Answer:
These are ecchymosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph and you have developed ecchymosis.
These are due to leakage of blood in the skin.
They are common in persons with thin skin, following minor trauma and due to blood thinning medicines.
I would recommend you to go for blood platelets, bleeding time and clotting time to rule out any internal cause for the same.
