A member asked:

It has happened at least 2x now. on a certain spot on my right arm a bruise develops spontaneously it seems then disappears. what could be causes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bruising: Bruising can happen from light trauma and sometimes can be secondary to medications such as Aspirin and other blood thinning medications, some otc supplements can cause it too. You had a cardiac stent, are you on blood thinners?
