I have a circular bruise on my right upper arm on the inside. It has what appears to be a pin prick or scratch in the middle, with purple bruising which is rapidly turning yellow. Can you tell me what could have caused this in such an innocuous place?

What could cause discoloration or many white spots on the lower legs that fade when the legs are rubbed or are in motion?

I am not a doctor, but to me this sounds like it could be poor circulation in the legs. If swelling is also a symptom then it could be heart related. So many diseases and conditions can lead to poor circulation. A doctor should really be seen since this symptom can be a sign of something very serious. Best of luck.
