Arms Started To Itch. What Are The Red Bruises?
I am female 68 years old Just now in the shower my arm started to itch and I scratched it very hard and I developed a lot of small red bruises under the skin where I scratched. I do get these red bruises occasionally due to lower fat in my subcutaneous tissues - but never like this before. I need to know if I should try and reach my doctor in the morning

HI,I THINK THE RED BRUISES U ARE SUFFERING FROM ARE DUE TO ACUTE URTICARIA.ACUTE URTICARIA CAN BE DUE TO FOOD ALLERGENS,INSECT STINGS AND DYES ETC.FIRST RULE OUT THESE FEATURES.
GO FOR ROUTINE BLOOD INVESTIGATIONS ,
U CAN TRY ATARAX 25 MG ONCE IN THE NIGHT,ALASPAN IN THE DAY TIME,USE A DEWORMING AGENT AND USE A PANTAPRAZOLE BEFORE BREAKFAST.USE THESE DRUGS FOR 15 DAYS.IF NOT CURED GO TO A NEARBY DERMATOLOGIST
