Several doctors no one can answer why my skin on my forearm is tearing, ripping, and brusing . i do not take any medication . can any one help.

Easy bruising: Easy bruising may be due to blood platelet problems, vit c deficiency, vasculitis affecting capillaries, Aspirin or NSAID use, or liver disorders. I recommend an evaluation by a hematologist to determine the cause. Easy bruising will show up in thin skinned areas like the forearms and back of hands. Nose and gum bleeding can occur.

Good evening doctors. I am on Plavix & 81mg aspirin. I seem to be extremely prone to purple bruises--three on my left arm now, one rather large one on the underside of my arm. How do I know if the bruises are or are not because of the Plavix& aspirin?
