Bleeding Under Skin
I have recently delevoped bleeding under my skin. It occurs on the back of my left arm and hand - without any trauma - for no apparent reason. My PCP told me it could be caused by low platelet count - a blood test showed platelet count normal. There is no pain associated with these and they usually slowly dissolve in about a week. Any ideas what is causing this? More importantly what physician specialty is equipped to evaluate and treat these?? My family doc's specialty is coughs and colds.......(see pics)
I have had that bleeding under the skin for quite a while now and my doc says it comes from some of the meds I have to take. I found that when you first see them to rub ice on them and then massage them quite often. I have also just found some lotion that I rub on them and it helps a lots also. You may not realize you bump your arm, etc but after paying close attention to when mine occurred I found it was when I bumped into something. Rubbing them under warm water also helps them heal quicker. If you find anything better please let me know so I can try it also. BTW that lotion is called DerMend but someone told me any lotion to remove scars, etc is good. Good luck
