What Causes Bruising On Arm Above The Wrist?
I have some bruising on my right arm just above the wrist. It just appeared and it looked like if I poked it with a needle it would oze out blood yesterday. Today it looks more like a bruise. There are two spots about the size of 1/16 or an inch and 7 dots. What could it be?

Hello,
In my opinion, it could be many possibilities, mostly nothing to worry about, this could happen to female patients having periods, and it can be a blood platelets problem due to many causes. A full history is needed and a picture would be ideal for proper diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
