Should I Be Concerned About Black Spots On Arm And Wrist Inspite Of Having Eczema For Years?

Hi, I was researching for my sister-in-law. She has suffered with eczema for years...not sure about other skin issues. She woke up today and noticed black spots on her arm and wrist, which have already lightened in color. Her daughter told me about this...I have not spoken to my sister-in-law. I told my niece to tell her mother take some pictures of the spots.

Hi,

It may be ecchymosis most probably. Consult the Dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. The ecchymosis may be posttraumatic. Apply thrombophob oint. on the parch. Take tab vitamin C 1000 mg daily. The patch might reduce gradually.

Hope this helps.
