Question: I have a couple of round bruise-like spots on my abdomen. They are not tender, I feel great. They started very small and got to about the size of a dime. I can see a couple more starting to form… The larger ones are starting to fade. They are def under the skin, no change in texture.

Brief Answer:
Upload a better quality Image

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HealthcareMagic,

I have gone through your question and also the clinical image you uploaded. But the resolution of image is very poor.
Round bruise like spots on abdomen is most commonly Tinea corporis. It starts as papule and later on take a shape or ring, but this is slight itchy.
Other differential may be Pityriasis rosea. A well circumscribed oval or round lesion appears on the abdomen and back, some times on arm also. It is slightly scaly and self limiting.
The other differential is senile purpura.

I would like to examine the clinical image (Good Quality) before making any provisional diagnosis.
There is a feature to upload the image by yourself on the right side of this query page. You may utilize that. Alternatively, you can mail it to YYYY@YYYY with subject line as "ATTN: Dr. Shahid Hassan". I will review the photograph and get back to you.

Hope this will help you.
Thanks
