General Surgeon 's  Response
These could be ecchymotic patches due to coagulation abnormalities. Do get her Coagulation profile done - its a blood test as well as a liver function test. This will give a clear idea as to why the bruising is occurring and of prime importance is tight Blood sugar control so that her sugar levels are always within the prescribed range - by oral medications or by Insulin injections. Take care and feel free to let me know the results so I can advice you further.
