Thanks for contacting healthcare magic ..

You have problem of bruishing at skin area that one mostly because of unknown injury. That one resolve automatically...

If you have problem of multiple patechie that may because of low platelets counts. Do a complete blood cell count and check platelets counts.

Capillary related problem also cause blush discoloration. Consent a physician for further diagnosis. Proper physical examination and history give exact idea.

I hope my guidance helpful to you..
Take care.
Thank you.
