What Could The Dark Bruising In Forearm Be Indicative Of?

On my arm I suddenly developed what looked like dark slashes and a dark bruise on my forearm that has lasted for about 3 weeks. Now the bruise seems to be turning into little scabs and white spots? My finger joints also ache really bad. It happened right when I got home from being in puerta aventuras mexico (if it could be related, I don t know) any idea what is going on?
