Default Red Bruises on Forearms

Google it...vitamin k cream applied to the area can make the splotches fade out quicker. Dermatologist said it is primarily sun damage, although aspirin/blood thinner don't help. Every time I bump my arm on something, it can create the bruise like splotch. I think he called it solar puplera (sp?)
