This morning I noticed that I had a quarter size reddish pink spot on the inside of my upper arm. It's doesn't hurt or itch. It's flat and there is no signs of a bug bite, flaking, or swelling. I also have one on my calf that is the size of a half dollar. I have Atopic Dermatitis but this not usually a symptom of it. They don't really have a defined shape but fade out into the rest of the skin. I've had 2 spots like these in the past. One was the size of a dime, also on my upper arm but on the other one and a small one on my wrist just a week ago. They usually went away in 2-3 days. My mother keeps telling me it's a bruise but it doesn't look like one. Bruises are painful and are usually purple or blue, then turn yellow. These just fade away.
Does anyone have any idea of what this could be? It's really bugging me and I'm starting to get worried. I have no health insurance at the moment and can't find any information on this type of spotting on the internet. Any help would be great.
