What Causes Reddish Bruise On Inner Arm?
Hi I have a bruise on my inner arm that is like a bulls eye.. .it was redish in color a few days ago but each day has been gradually turning towards darker purple color of a bruise.. edges are fading out with a yellowish tint... it does not feel tender like a brusie and the center is closer to flesh color and feels like a firmer area of skin in center. I don t remember hitting my arm on anything but we just moved into a new house so it is possible.

Hi there.
Have you been bitten by any insect ?
Usually bulls eye or target shaped rash occurs due to Lyme disease. It is best to apply cold soaks and show to a Dermatologist for proper diagnosis.
