What Causes Pink Patch Of Pigmentation On Fore Arm?

For as long as I can remember, I have a pink patch of pigmentation on my fore arm, not raised or with different texture from the rest of my skin. I have noticed over the last few years more and more smaller spots . If poked with a needle they bleed considerably heavier than normal. *might be useful to know: I don t get sunburned, ever I hardly bruise no matter how hard so

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi
According to your complaints it seems you are having port wine stain which is a type of capillary malformation.
It won't be treated with creams and tablets.
You need to consult a dermatologist and get it removed by laser treatment.
