Suggest Treatment For Dark Red Bruises On The Forearm
i have bruises on forearms which are dark red or purple. Start about size finger nail, irregular in shape. Some expand to size of a quarter or larger. Eventually start to fade out, some from the center to an outer border without any treatment after months. I m 82 and this has been going on for the last couple of years.
