What Does Splotches On The Arm Indicate?

default
Posted on Thu, 22 Jun 2017
Question: Hello I am JH I have had issues with my skin on my left arm...what begins as a splotch seems to spread out under my skin... My mother said it looked like age spots... I am 50 she is 75.. no pain , no poison ivy , no itch but if I press down on the discolored (red ? blood ) it disseminates and goes away.
its like my skin is paper thin and looks like the age spots on my 80 yr old father. no itching or sensitivity on the area. I work with my hands ...not unusual to get scrapes cuts etc... but this is weird ?
thank you for any correspondence ...

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

It would be very important to see this area for first hand evaluation and insights from me. Though you have done a great job describing, seeing is the most valuable aspect to make a good evaluation for a personalized and helpful response to you. Without an image, guesses might steer us towards a generic and unhelpful response. For this reason, I kindly request that you upload an image for review.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.
