What Could Be The Cause Of Painful Red Patches That Looks Like Blood Clot On Legs And Hands?

Question: My son XXXXX gets some Red patches (looks like blood clot) - sometimes in leg and sometimes in hand. If I touch or press it, he will have pain. And it goes away in around 3-4 days. I am not sure whether it is some blood clot due to some injury happens while playing or is it due to some allergy or skin issue. Looking forward for your suggestion.

There is a possibility that it can be blood clot.
His platelet levels might be low and that's why he is developing these clots.
I would like to see a photograph of the lesion this will help me in giving a closer diagnosis.
