Splotchy marks can be purpuric lesions, pityriasis rosea, insect bite, urticaria, etc.
Can you provide few other information which can help you comment about it better?
1. Are they painful?

3. Do you have fever or other symptom at the time it began?
4. Are you on any medication presently?
Can you upload photos of the affected part?
