What Causes Unexplained Bruises On The Lower Arms?
I have been noticing over the past few months that I bruise very easily on my lower arms. It seems from the elbow down to my fingers are the spots that are most prominent. Some cases all I have to do is scratch my arm from a bug bit and I will have a bruise. None of these hurt. Wondering what this might be.
