What Causes Brown Spots On The Lower Arms And Legs?

Brown spots of different sizes pop up on my lower arms and legs. They fade after about 10 days but then others pop up. They are not raised and not caused from a bump as in what would cause a bruise. However, they very much resemble a bruise. Recently had a blood test and my liver is normal, have low cholesterol.

Hi,

They may be nodular utricaria or frekles or rash or fungal infection, etc. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your dermatologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
