Bruising on the arms: A deficiency of vitamin k could lead to some bruising on the arms (purple spots). Sometimes people who are on antibiotics have this problem because the antibiotic kills the intestinal bacteria that are responsible for producing vitamin k for your body. However, there are other far more common causes for bruising (purpura) on the arms like medications, vitamin e, herbals, and even sun damage.
