What Is The Cause Of Recurring Bruising In Left Forearm?
I have this one area on my left forearm that is constantly bruising. It is usually sore for a few days then a bruise appears. Starts off small then grows to about the size of a fifty cent piece. It takes awhile but it goes away in in time another shows up.

Hi,
It seems that you may be having ecchymosis. It may be due to some cause. You consult dermatologist for perfect diagnosis and the cause. It may be type of purpura..like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. It may be due to some internal cause or related to blood disorder. So, I advise you to consult dermatologist. He might prescribe thrombophob oint. for local application. And might give you vitamin K and C. He might treat the cause. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
