Suggest Treatment For Circular Bruises On Upper Right Arm
I have 2 small perfectly circular bruises on my upper right arm on the inside fleshy part. I am on no medication. I look after my mother who has Altzheimers who also strangely has 5 small circular bruises spaced evenly apart on her lower arm close to the inside of her elbow. Could it be something we ve eaten? Mum is on medication for her heart which includes aspirin.

As your mom is on aspirine, bruises on your mothers arm may be due to of thinning of blood, she can have her PTI done, We have to keep Pti between 1.5 to 2.5.If it is more than that i will advice to stop or reduce the dose of aspirine. In your case your bruises may be accidental, these will go natuarly requires no treatment
