Suggest Remedies For Purple Bruises On The Elbows
I discovered last week while looking in the mirror that I had bruises on my elbows. They re a purpley brown color, they don t hurt, they re a bit irritated, and they itch. I don t know what they are, and I only discovered these last week. I m very confused, and I want to know if this is concerning or not. By the way, I m 14 years old. Thank you, Jay.

Hello Jay,
It could be great if you send a picture of your bruises on the elbows to evaluate them myself.
It might be a case of possible irritated skin eczema, however, we should rule out other pathologies like infection.
All the best.
