What Do Tiny Bruises On The Upper Arm Indicate?
Over the past few weeks, I ve noticed several tiny bruises - maybe an 1/8th inch in diameter, show up mostly on my upper arms. I ll have a few at a time, and when they fade away, more appear in a different spot. I don t think they re from any kind of trauma or injury, do you think this is something I should worry about? I m a 22 year old female, if that helps.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if it is not the history of injury then it may be due to some allergic condition, another is, it may be due to some hormone changes, and in very rare cases it could be due to the platelet disorder, in my opinion all of these needs to be ruled out, skin conditions always demands the clinical examination for better diagnosis, and hope this information helps.
