Weird Purple Dots on Inner Arm

Posted by ebb1234 @ebb1234, Feb 13, 2022

I woke up yesterday to 2 small purple/red dots on my inner left arm. They are pretty small, about the size of a mole and about an inch apart. They haven't grown in size, but I noticed as I was trying to fall asleep that my left arm felt tired and had pressure in it, kind of like I had just lifted heavy weights. It still feels like this. I have been styling my hair with my arms above my head a lot in the past week and also wearing a dress that is tight around where the dots are, but I'm concerned if it's a blood clot or something. I am only 22 and I have been vaping for the past 4 years.

Hello @ebb1234 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can tell you are nervous. It is good that you are so aware of your body and changes to it. That said, unless you have symptoms like those that are mentioned in the article below, I think I may focus on making sure your clothes are loose fitting for a while to see if that may have been the cause.

Will you share if you are feeling/noticing any of the symptoms?
