Answer 11

BRUISES HONEY THE BALL IS HARD AND YOUR HITTING IT HARD 2+2=4

Answer 12

When you play volleyball, you hit the ball with wrists. Generally, volleyballs are pretty hard. When you hit your wrists over and over again on that ball, it creates little dot-like bruises on you wrists. I get them too when I play ;)

Answer 13

If they hurt they are bruises. After I first started playing volleyball my forearm used to be purple...sometimes red. Its the same thing that happens after you pinch yourself. Your skin turns red. So its the volleyball hitting you arm numerous times that makes them red and then purple.

Answer 14

hmmm.. okay so it could be bruises, or it could be a allergic reaction to the leather or material used for the balls.

i would check on it everyday until it goes away!

-hope this helps!

Answer 15

Hi

I am a retired medical doctor you probable have normal bruising from being hit by the ball I use to play alot. But there are some medical reason. You could take extra vitamin C daily which helps with  capillary fragility hence causing you to bruise.Vit C is harmless does stay in your body for more than 6=8 hrs. Also aspirin,Advil Motrin if taken daily causes bleeding by decreasing your platlets which help stop bleeding faster, hence less blue,or purple.Lastly smoking causes lose of vitamins,causes small veins to bleed easier. Suggest I generic vitamin day or extra orange juice. If this continues see your doc.it is a simple blood test.BCPMD

Lukemia, you might want to get it checked out

Answer 17

whenever you just begin to play volleyball, you always get those 'purple freckles' on your arms. this is totally normal. it's just bruises because your arms are not used to the hard pounding of the volleyball yet. once you keep playing they will go away because your forearms will be used to the volleyball.

hope i helped!
