Brief Answer:
Purpuric sports. Need more information

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query and viewed the image.

They seem like purpuric spots. Did you scratch the area? or was there some rubbing? Are you on some oral medication? Are there any local symptoms like pain? burning?

take care.

I am not on any medication and it doesn’t burn or itch. Maybe a week ago, I recall burning in that area;however, nothing was there.

Investigate

Hi.
thank you
Could be a manifestation of vasculitis. I suggest observation along with a few basic blood tests like complete blood count with ESR, liver and kidney function tests, urine routine microscopy, ANA

take care
