Hi,

Most probably the lesion you described may be ecchymosis. It is a purpuric patch. It may be idiopathic means without cause or there may be some cause like friction or blunt injury. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Blood tests may be done to rule out internal diseases.

You may take vitamin C and vitamin K along with thrombophob ointment application on the patch. It might fade within few weeks. If it relapses, you go for investigations and have perfect treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
