It looks like bleeding under the skin. Pete’s had something like that but it’s fading now from his arms. He has a mark on his foot which has never gone. See how things go and then re contact your GP if not happy. Xxx💕

It looks like a blood bruise you have there ..It happens as skin gets older and also if your on long term steroids skin feels like tissue paper any little knock bump or tap can make these happen...If in any way concerned get a check up with your GP as we can only share with you our own personal information... We are none of us doctors who are there to help and support make an appointment or even a zoom call take care 🩷🩷🩷

if you’re on blood thinners of any kind you may find that you get red /black marks on your skin where you may have lightly bumped your skin. They will slowly fade and are nothing to worry about.

I agree with sassy in that it looks more like a blood bruise. I get them all the time at the slightest knock/ bump. Got a huge one at the moment on my wrist and I didn't even bump it. It appeared after I changed my grandsons nappy from my wrist just rubbing against the changing mat. I get them all over my arms. As fast as they fade I get more. The explanation I got was that as we age our skin gets thinner and therefore the blood vessels are closer to the surface. Also if you take medication that thins your blood like aspirin and anti inflammatory meds including steroids it makes the problem worse. I use concealers sometimes if I'm wearing short sleeves.

Looks like you have knocked your hand and it's a blood bruise. Should fade in time. I get them too. Thin skin!!! X
