Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It may be ecchymoses. It is a purpura patch due to blood oozed in dermis. Cause may be unknown.Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take vitamin C 1000 mg thrice a day. Apply thrombophob oint. on the patch.

Hope this helps.
