What Causes A Yellow Bruise Near The Armpit Along With Pain In The Arm?
I have a yellowish brown bruise under my bicep near my armpit. It has almost a full streak the same color going down to my inner elbow which is another bruise. I have pain that traveled from the armpit area and the dull ache has moved to my mid forearm but streak not gone past elbow. I ve had these symptoms for about 3 days

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Is it bruising or stretch marks? Usually stretch marks may start at armpit run along the forearm. Other causes like Cushing's syndrome or cutaneous larva migrans, infections, etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Smruti Pevekar
