What Do Round Black Rashes On Wrist Indicate?
Two days ago and on both the inside of each wrist suddenly appeared (a week ago) circular, dime size, black marks which gradually enlarged (about the sizwe of a 50 cent piece turning into blotches). I am also 80 years old, have all my faculties In the last year I ve had five major surgeries (copious, non-stop bleeding first through the mouth and later from the rectum. Over the furgeries I required 23 blood transfusion. My surgeons detected polyps and removed them. The removal required three colocospies). They also found a aneurysm in an artery inside my left lung which was clamped. The bleeding did not stop until my surgeon (Dr. Fiture, Major Mackenzie Health Centre, in Ontario, Canada) performed (Dr. Fiture) two more surgeries removing in each surgery segments of my colon. This in 2014 and I believe I m fully recovered from all the surgeries but these new bruises really concern me. Any suggestions?

Hi madam,the symptoms which you are explaining about may be due to bleeding disorders or may be due allergic dermatitis if you are using nickel items around the wrist which you are complaining about
It will be better if you undergo the liver function rest and basic coagulation profile to know if there are any bleeding tendencies
If you wait further with out undergoing tests and proper medications if it's due to bleeding you might have hemaraghic strokes so it will better if you undergo tests and proper medications
If the rash is because of allergic dermatitis you must have previous episodes while using nickel
I don't think so your symptoms have relation with your previous episodes but few malignant tumors I. E cancers will have chances of thrombosis
It will be wise to meet your physician as early as posSible and undergo evaluation and proper medications
