What Causes Dry Patches Of Skin On The Arms Followed By Bruising?
I have been getting these small dry patches of skin mostly on my arms and legs for the past month. When the patches clear up a bruise develops in its place. I thought at first this was just eczema, but the bruises have me wondering if there isn’t something more going on.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Seems like as eczema heals and bruising develop underneath the scab.
No need to worry. You can apply soft steroids like Triamfinolone on the affected area. If the symptoms persist, consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks
