What Causes Dark Bruise On Upper Inside Of Arm?

My father has a small dark bruise on the upper inside of his arm. It is approximately the size of a quarter and appears to have a very small redish brown spot with a very thin white circle around the dot. He had the small dot 3 weeks before the bruise appeared. He is 67 years old. Do you have any idea what this could be?
