What causes small bruised like dark round spots in the pit of my arm by the elbow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Platelet check: Although you note specific spots on just your elbow you may need blood tests. Sometimes patients with low platelets from idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura presents with low platelets and they have these really small dots in skin.
