Brief Answer:
Monitor only for now!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for reaching out to us at healthcare magic.

I have reviewed the attached image. This is for sure blood under the skin. For some reason, it can take really long for resorption to become noticeable. In the absence of any other symptoms, there is little to worry about. I will recommend that you monitor only. This will gradually regress. If you however notice more spontaneous spots, please report to me. These spots will gradually change from red through blue/greenish/black or even grey before finally disappearing. They might have resulted from mild trauma that you never took notice of. Taking your watch off is a smart move and will allow us pay more attention at this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
