A member asked:

I carry a heavy bag with my arms after shopping.it takes 2mins home.i found many blood spots on my arms when i am changing clothes.what cause that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ecchymoses: Bruises from pressure due to popped vessels is not uncommon. Petecchiae or little dots is not, i can't see your problem so better go see the doctor for exam. What seems normal if excessive still is not normal and should be diagnosed.
