What Causes Reddish Blotches On Upper Inner Legs And Arms?
I have been experiencing red/purple/brown at times blotching on my upper and inner legs and also the upper and back part of my arms.. I have seen this before but the past few weeks it has gotten worse and also painful. I feel like I got the shit kicked out of me and now feel like I'm bruised everywhere? some places there is bruising but cant tell the difference between the blotching. also it feels kinda hard and very tender to the touch. Today my arms are tingly and fingers?

Hello,Welcome to the HCM
Brief ...It could be Henoch scholin purpura
Detailed answer..First I would like to know wether you had a viral or upper respiratory infection few days back.As Henoch scholin purpura may follow these infection and cause these type of bruises (purpura),in arm and mostly on legs.Which can be treated by steroids.
Else you may get checked by a dermatologist and discuss further.
Hopefully my answer will be helpfull for you.
