What Does Yellow Discoloration Between The Wrist And Elbow Indicate?
I have a small area in the underside of my arm, between my wrist and elbow, where a yellow bruise like discoloration comes and goes, sometimes within the same day..always in the same spot. There is a slight discomfort at the spot. I am a 60 year old male...high cholesterol....

Hi,
Do not worry. It is just senile purpura. The skin is bruised easily while skin is aging, called old age ecchymoses or senile purpura. There is no need of treatment. The patches might vanish in few days to few weeks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
