Brief Answer:
Better pictures required
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
From the review of picture it looks like ecchymosis i.e collection of blood in skin due to rupture of tiny blood vessels.
But its difficult to point specific diagnosis as the picture you have posted is not very clear. Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures with better clarity from different distance so that I can help you in a better way.
Thanks
