Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have dime sized bruises that show up in the upper arms, the area closest to my body. They just show up. Today I found 2 very small purple bruises the size of a pencil eraser about an inch apart from each other. What is the cause of bruising when no injury occured?
It could be a subcutaneous blood collection after trivial trauma. Nothing much to worry as it will settle by itself. If lesion persists you can consult a physician and get evaluated to rule out conditions like bleeding disorders.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
