What Causes A Forearm Spot Bruise With A Lump And Discoloration?

Hi, I have a bruise type spot on my inner forearm that I can t explain, it s about the size of a half dollar coin sized purplish spot with a normal flesh colored spot in the middle of it, maybe the size of a dime. In the flesh colored spot there s a small bump. What is it? I m not particularly worried, but just unsure of what it is. Thanks!

Hello

I have studied your case.

As per your history and symptoms possibility of cellulitis with dermatitis can be considered on forearm.
Primarily you can take enzyme to decrease swelling like Tab Trypsin and chymotrypsin.
Consulting your doctor infection /cellulitis can be confirmed, antibiotic can be started according to examination.

If required you may need to do blood investigation for prognosis and recovery.
Colour Doppler study will help to know cause of edema.
Take precaution to avoid spread of infection.
Vitamin B12 is important in the maintenance of health and normal functioning of the nerve tissue in diabetic patient. You can increase B12 level by taking meat and fish, or you can take Inj methylcobalamine 1500 mcg alternate day. [6 doses]

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
