A member asked:

I have what looks like blood spots on my arm and looks like solid dark around the elbow and also same on legs. blood or dark spots and solid clot look?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get medical check up: If these are pink in color, it could be blood. Such bleeding under the skin(if it is new) can be a serious medical condition caused by low platelets or some other blood diseases. So you should see a doctor who can check your blood with what is called a CBC and platelet counts.

A member asked:

Hey there. I often get a fluttering/bubbling sensation in my body- legs, butt, arm, neck, stomach. It lasts for a few seconds, then stops and starts again. I am worried it is a blood clot or the start of a nerve disease. Thanks?
