Dark spots and persistent bruises on your hands and arms could result from several underlying causes that may need careful examination. Since you’ve mentioned attempts with sunscreen and no sun exposure, it’s important to understand what could be happening internally. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, pigmentation and bruises often indicate imbalances in the pitta dosha, which is responsible for skin health, and possibly some kapha imbalance contributing to stagnation of blood flow.
Enhancing your digestive fire, or agni, could be beneficial to improve skin clarity. Consider sipping warm water throughout the day to aid digestion. Additionally, you might include a piece of fresh ginger before meals to stimulate agni, facilitating better absorption of nutrients, which can support skin health.
Incorporating aloe vera gel application directly on the spots could also offer topical relief due to its cooling and rejuvenating qualities, reducing excess pitta in the skin. Try this once a day and monitor any improvement over several weeks.
Effective blood circulation is essential; thus, gentle massage with warm sesame oil could work wonders. This type of oil is nourishing and can help correct the stagnation in the tissues. Aim for 15-minute massages on your hands and arms, ideally in the morning before a shower.
If you see no improvement or have accompanying symptoms like unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or new lesions, consult a healthcare professional promptly to rule out conditions that may not be addressable through Ayurveda alone. Prioritizing safety ensures any serious or urgent medical issue could receive attention on time.
