Since July I have had bruis like marks on my upper arm, but I know they aren't bruises, and they don't hurt..my kidney is leaking protein, and I'm taking aspirin..has anyone else had these sort of marks? Worried!
 
Yes I have had them, but unfortunately I don't know much else.

I haven't automatically put them down to Diabetes, I was thinking maybe old age.
 
I get them on my forearms. They come out of nowhere. They are more purple to dark dark red. I thought it was from eating too much fish and thinning blood but gave those up and they still showed up. Then thought red wine. Nope. I never had them until DX and insulin but not really blaming them either. I was also leaking albumin at DX but not anymore. My doc isn't concerned. Nor am I now. Can't figure out the cause so I just live with the ugly things ....
 
I often get tiny bruises all over my body for no Apperently reason. I just put it down to being 53. The only bruises that I know are my fault are the ones on my stomach from injecting the victoza, and that is only just the past few days. I have put that down to possibly pushing the needle in too hard or either, where I have lost weight and my stomach is alot softer
